{{See also|CNET#Hopper controversy}}
In January 2013, [[CNET]] named [[Dish Network]]'s "Hopper with [[Slingbox|Sling]]" digital video recorder as a nominee for the [[International CES|CES]] "Best in Show" award (which is decided by CNET on behalf of its organizers, the [[Consumer Electronics Association]]), and named it the winner in a vote by the site's staff. However, CBS division CBS Interactive disqualified the Hopper and vetoed the results as CBS was in active litigation with Dish Network over its [[AutoHop]] technology (which allows users to skip commercial advertisements during recorded programs).<ref>{{cite web|title=Exclusive: CBS forced CNET staff to recast vote after Hopper won 'Best in Show' at CES|url=https://www.theverge.com/2013/1/14/3874682/exclusive-cbs-forced-cnet-editors-to-recast-vote-after-hopper-win|author=Joshua Topolsky|work=The Verge|date=January 14, 2013|access-date=February 28, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130225124806/http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/14/3874682/exclusive-cbs-forced-cnet-editors-to-recast-vote-after-hopper-win|archive-date=February 25, 2013|url-status=live}}</ref> CNET announced that it would no longer review any product or service provided by companies that CBS Corporation was in litigation with.
