Skip commercials with Dish Networks Hopper?

[Fabbs]

Dish website:
Only the Hopper™ lets you record up to 6 shows at once during primetime and instantly skip commercials in recorded PrimeTime Anytime shows.¹

1 Automatic skip feature available for certain primetime shows on ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC with Primetime Anytime Features. Features must be enabled by customer.

Anyone know what happens in the real world with this? Dish has notoriously bad customer service.
Does one have to pay not only for the Hopper but extra each month to enable the *Skip Commercials* feature?

CBS is sweating it.
