7 days?! So if you record something on DISH from FOX, you have to wait a week before you'll be able to see it without the ads?! Unbelievable!

look for a huge spike in downloads of popular shows and a corresponding dip in Dish subscribers

I hope DIRECTV doesn't start doing this.

There is nothing on there I would watch anyway. If they start this they owe us refunds since we pay for the ability to go past commercials.

FYI the hopper is supposed to skip for you on ABC, CBS etc... but we get the hopper maybe once a week if we're lucky.
