Here to help with your commercial break in progress concern, @Lgz.
That usually means that's a regional commercial break and there's no regional commercial available.
We have more on commercial break in progress here.
Let us know if you have any other questions.

They might be regional commercial breaks that ads are inserted by local cable companies or satellite companies. They may not have any regional commercials to insert, so that is why we see that screen. NHL TV and MLB TV does the same thing.

Worst song ever please lose it or I’m canceling. It comes on at least 100 times a day especially on CNBC. I don’t mind it in the background playing during empty commercial slots. Just lose the music, anyone can hear their show resume upon sound.

No one here has any influence on this - we are other customers. If you want to complain about it, you'll need to post to the DIRECTV social media accounts or perhaps tell Customer Service.

I really don’t like the commercial break in progress screen or the music! At all!! Just have it normal with the same commercial other companies are playing on the same channel!! It’s going to be really really messed up to watch the Súper bowl and can’t see all the expensive funny commercials that air! Just make sure you switch from att tv before the big game or everyone at your house will complain and laugh at your service like they did me last Súper bowl 😔

The Commercial Break screen is showing up more frequently, and frankly irritates me to no end. If they don't stop, I'm moving to Spectrum.

Would you rather watch a regular commercial? Also, if you dvr programs u can forward thru. This is a bizarre thing to complain about.

I DVR mostly sports, some show series & movies. Skip the commercials, was just thinking I haven’t seen the commercial break thing on DVRed content.

The person who came up with the music that they play when these things come on should be locked in a room for about a week and forced to listen to it for about a week!
Absolutely annoying and way too frequent!

The commercial break in service makes me think something is broken and it can last quite awhile. Commercials are a part of tv, but this process is disturbing and I would like to know if there is a way to get rid of it?
