Same commercial repeated endlessly
Last night while watching TVLand and everyone loves Raymond the commercial for the Ford Escape repeated its self for 168 times and over one hour. I was doing something else and was waiting to see if it ever stopped. It finally stopped when I turned the receiver off and then on again. I’m thinking it would have continued for ever if I hadn’t turned it off then on again. Has anyone else ever had this happen? Or is the cosmic world telling me I need a 2020 Ford Escape.

You must have been watching on demand. I’ve had that sort of thing happen with CBS on demand. Not the same commercial repeating but several commercials repeating.

DTV has no control over what a channel sends them, the problem is with TVland.

Having the same commercial repeating for over an hour straight, with no other programming, is a technical issue. Since rebooting the receiver fixed it, most likely it was an injected commercial from TV Land's On Demand that stuck in memory, though possibility it could have been the DVR got stuck on the commercial code in the buffer from the live satellite feed.
Electronics are not perfect so must refresh/reset once in a while. So hopefully this was just a one-time glitch.
