Kaley Cuoco apparently deleted a sponsored tweet touting the Dish Hopper that CBS, which airs 'The Big Bang Theory,' and other networks believe is illegal.


'The Big Bang Theory' star Kaley Cuoco doesn't mind making a few extra dollars endorsing products. Tweeting an ad to her 1.2 million Twitter followers is an easy way to pick up some spare change. Just as long as she isn't tweeting at Dish Network's behest about its ad-skipping Hopper DVR.
As first reported by The Wrap, Cuoco, or her representatives, deleted the following tweet after The Wrap inquired about it: 'Amazing! Watching live TV anywhere on the #Hopper looks pretty awesome! Now where can I find a tiny beer? #ad.'
Dish representatives claim that Cuoco's tweet generated thousands of clicks from her followers to an informational site about the Dish product. 'We felt Kaley was a good match for our brand and that her fans represented our customers and potential customers who would be interested in the benefits of Hopper,' a Dish spokesperson told CNET in an email.
With the sponsored tweet touting the Dish Hopper, Cuoco got caught in the middle of a bitter, prolonged battle between CBS, which airs 'The Big Bang Theory,' and Dish, which offers a product that CBS (the parent company of CNET) and the other broadcast networks believe is illegal. The Dish Hopper features AutoHop, which allows users to automaticall.
