Ad displays even when tv is unpaused
Lately when I pause a show for too long and it's on an ad (just a graphic not a video), when I go to unpause the show, the ad stays on but the show plays. Tonight it did this and then I changed the channel and the ad was still there, but I could hear the show and see the captioning. I shut off the tv, waited about 30 seconds then turned it back on and the ad was still there. About 2 minutes later the ad finally went away. This doesn't happen every time I pause the tv, it seems to depend on how long it's paused.

What DVR model number?
Have you tried resetting the DVR?
I don't think this has anything to do with your TV. Unless it's your TV that's actually delivering the ads and not your DirecTV DVR. Perhaps a TV screen saver feature?

I have the same problem; pause isn't very helpful when the ad takes over the screen.

Same problem here, pause isn't very useful when ad takes over after 30 seconds.

Consider it a quirk, as does disappear. As mentioned by @litzdog911 , try a reset.
