How to get rid of this message -"want to restart this program"

Certain channels show this message when first changing - "want to restart this program? Press << to connect Genie to the Internet".  I do not have internet access. This message has been showing on many channels for over two months. It stays up for 10 seconds, blocking content on the lower part of the screen.  How can I get rid of this setting/message?

Unfortunately, you can’t. It definitely can be annoying sometimes, I agree.

Thanks. I'm getting a lot of pressure to leave DirecTv because of this.  They could limit the message to one month only or once a day if customer satisfaction is a corporate goal...

Pressing the "exit" button may remove it until the next time.

Thanks, that's what I have to do - about 55 times a day. When looking at ESPN, it blocks the statistics on the bottom and I have to reverse the show if I want to learn what was blocked. Too many button pushes...
