DirecTV
Advertising Added to Channel Guide Slots on HD DVR

TV & Radio

I recently upgraded to an HD DVR and, for the most part, love it. However, the first week of April Directv began polluting the channel guide with advertising. These ads take up slots which would normally show programs meaning that it now takes more scrolling to go through the guide.

I contacted Directv asking how to stop the ads and they responded that there was no way for me to have the ads removed. Now they are downloaded, without my consent, advertising to my DVR.

I pay over $100 month for service and Directv has decided to force ads down my throat. Apparently, the only option is to cancel my service.
