FROZEN AD on SCREEN

My DVR was recording a show, when suddenly one of your ads appeared on the screen and I can not get rid of it. I can not get the channel I was recording.  I can get other channels.  

I tried all of the following:

1.  Press the reset button on the side of the box

2. Unplugged everything that goes into the box and unplugged the box into the wall. 

3.  Disconnected the box from the television

4.  Unplugged the television from the wall.

Can you help me?  This is very upsetting because I should be watching my favorite channel and instead I am looking at a frozen ad for consumer cellar.com.  Is there any way to get this off my screen?

PLEASE HELP ME!

Thanks for the information. We're aware of an audio and video loss for METV in some states and the Broadcast Center is working to resolve it. May I have your ZIP code to confirm? Christy, DIRECTV Community Specialist

This could be part of the global internet outage.  Metv 54 is working here in LA.CA.
