I have a very simple installation, only a 722 connected to my internet and connected to a single HDTV. During the day the TV is tuned to CNBC. Recently I noticed that local ads were playing. These ads looked like a video file that was playing via an extremely slow internet connection (very poor video). When I use the remote to backup the playback, the local ads are gone and a national ad is in the place where the local ad had been. This seems "inconceivable" on so many levels but I have observed it multiple times. I find it hard to believe that a stream from the satellite would be able to bypass the DVR, so the only other connection would be the internet.
So is Dish using my internet to push advertisements onto my satellite receiver?
