Is there anyway to get rid of the banner ads in the guide? By banner ad I mean those things that advertise how to use things like DVR scheduler..

Are you on a CE software version? If not what receiver? I have an R-22 and HR-22 with No Ads.

The banner's in the guide are something that D* places.
There is no way to get rid of them....

There are no that I have seen today, they did have one up for the Tennis this past week and also often maybe for the Game Lounge.

The banner ads are attached to the channel below it in the programming guide. If you use a custom favorite list and the channel with the banner ad attached is removed from the favorite list, then the banner ad will be removed along with it.

For example there is a banner ad for the digital transition that appears above CNN HD in the programming guide. Remove CNN HD from your custom favorite list and that banner ad will disappear from the guide.

But then you also lose the CNN channel (in your example), what if they want CNN ...

Yes you are right, but I was illustrating a way to get rid of the banner ads but as you say there is a price to pay to get rid of the banner ad. However, there probably are some conservatives who don't like CNN anyway so it wouldn't hurt them.

There's one way to start: TELL DIRECTV in comments. I told them switching from Dish Network to Directv was "one giant step for mankind", EXCEPT for that one t... in the punchbowl.

Having those banner ads in the guide isn't nearly as aggravating as the banner ads on the TV shows.

I agree,
Really tired of watching a show and see advertising for another show on the same network at a later date.
