Continual pop ups in the bottom right hand corner of your TV screen while watching TV shows on TV

While watching any TV Shows I continually am getting these pop up commercials in the lower right hand section of my TV to watch other shows etc. It's totally annoying.

I am already paying for the recording service to fast forward so I don't have to watch 20 commercials, now there is no way to get rid of these pop ups that I can or Direct TV people can come up with.  I have called several times to have them report this to Corporate. (Good Luck) Any suggestions?

Those are not coming from DTV, those are coming from the channels.

What sort of "pop up" commercials? What are they advertising? I've never seen this.  

What DVR model do you have?

Hello there. Watching commercials is never enjoyable when you're watching TV. Can you please briefly describe the commercials you see, your service type and the TV name? We want to take a look at your case. Erika, DIRECTV Community Specialist

Hi Erika,

On Curse of Oak Island History Channel 269 last night I had 11 different pop ups of various sizes on the bottom of my screen starting at 8,minutes into the show and continuing until the end15, 20, 27,38, 39, 40,,47,48, 50, 58 minutes.

The First one was a large black banner across the bottom of my screen with FDR, next The Secrets of Skinwalker Ranch new episode, next Pawn Stars tomorrow, History Greatest Mysteries A History Channel original,, Skinwalker Ranch new episode, Skinwalker Ranch new episode, next Shop exclusive The Curse of Oak Island Gear Save 23% off with code curse23shop now at historystore.com, Skinwalker Ranch up next, Skinwalker Ranch new episode, Curse of Oak Island Drilling Down next Tues, Skinwalker Ranch new episode, Skinwalker Ranch new episode.

 

Then watched Skinwalker Ranch History channel 269

5 pop up ads same type as Curse of Oak Island with ads for Curse of Oak Island, Pawn Stars etc.

Watched Celebrity IOU channel 229 HGTV1 minute into program pop up for Renovation Wild series premiere.tonight9/8c

2 minutes into the show pop up Renovating an African Safari oasis is Wild

ETC.

It's on most TV Show channels not the movies.

I have photos if that helps.

Maybe I accidently checked a box in settings that says I want continual. info?

Thanks for your help.
