American Idol’s a great show I always enjoy watching with the family. I never cared to watch this show until my coworker at Dish convinced me. Now I’m always excited to see the next episode and see what’s in store next. I always hate having to deal with those annoying commercials until I upgraded to the Hopper recently. With the new Auto Hop feature, I can now choose to watch my commercials or get back to my show. Now with the click of a button, I could choose to watch commercials or skip them. The commercials are always there, the Auto Hop just fast forwards to the next scene without you have to do it manually. This will help me from having to change batteries in my remote as often.
