Look at it this way. It is directv's DVR as you are leasing their equipment. Im pritty sure somewhere in the fine print it says they can do what ever they want with their equipment and can add or remove any programming at any time with out your consent.
I guess if you dont like it, then there is allways cable, sence none of you will be going to DISH as they have a full dedicated channel. Heres the deal. Who cares if its on your DVR. The area its on is controlled by D* and is not taking up hard drive space allocated to you. If you dont want to watch it then dont. No one is forcing you to.
What bothers me is that you all are bitching about a political ad sitting on your DVR when there is so much more to be bitching about.. Like vilence on tv. Sex on TV. THis dam Economy. Hell Bitch about NO HD getting added in the past two months.
Waisting your breath on a political ad does nothing and I dont see them removing it any time soon atleast in the next 19 days.
