The OTA nets (save ABC) are claiming copyright violations over the satellite service's Auto Hop feature, which allows viewers to totally skip commercial breaks on the HD feeds of the Big Four nets' stations in prime time, Dish wants a court to make a decision about their feature: http://www.thewrap.com/tv/article/fox-sues-dish-over-ad-skipping-auto-hop-41526 What I wonder is: Would we be having all this if we were back in the good old days of single sponsorship and usually only six minutes of national ads per hour, 30-second station breaks between shows and full-screen credits?
