Is there a no political ads option?

Is there an option, paid or otherwise, where I can choose to get a black screen rather than see political advertisements? If not, would you please consider one as I'd gladly pay to not get that rubbish for 18 months prior to an election.

There is no such option with any TV provider that I am aware of. Advertisements, political or otherwise, cannot be blocked at all. Some streaming providers you might pay for a less commercial option, but there is no way to block a category of commercials.

Best you can do is record the programs to FF through them.  DTV will not/cannot censor a channels content.
