USA Another Victory for DISH’s Hopper

A Federal Judge has denied ABC’s efforts to bar DISH subscribers from using the PrimeTime Anytime and AutoHop features on the Hopper Whole-Home HD DVR.

The controversial PrimeTime Anytime feature, which have drawn the ire of the U.S. broadcast networks, provide users the ability to easily record prime-time shows on ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX and save them for up to eight days. The AutoHop feature enables users to play back certain PrimeTime Anytime records without commercials starting the day after broadcast.http://worldscreen.com/articles/display/41091
