Grimm happens to be one of the best PrimeTime shows I never miss. I’ve enjoyed all my PrimeTime shows with the new Auto Hop feature. The new Auto Hop feature offers me a way to enjoy more TV, since I don’t have to watch commercials. The new Auto Hop feature lets you decide whether you want to view commercials or skip them. I was excited to hear about this new great feature. If you want to watch any commercials you can always skip back and watch them, even if the Auto Hop is enabled. I don’t have to worry about scrolling through all them commercials when I playback my PrimeTime Anytime TV. This allows me to save money on batteries for the remote, since I won’t have to fast forward anymore.
