My wife and I were going through old DVR recordings to delete, and came upon 2 Obama programs we did not record. On further investigation, these were sent to us from DirecTV, and are UNDELETABLE!

They were paid for by the Obama campaign, and they are eating up space on my DVR. I let DirecTV know how I felt about it, then let the Obama campaign know how I felt about it.

Not to mention, a friend told me that there are Obama ads on the boards when playing NHL'09. They appeared to be "timed", and became part of the game when early voting started in many states.

Here they are wanting to re-instate the Fairness Doctrine, and I've got to put up with his bullshit on my DVR and on video games.

Did you buy the hardware? I believe that would be considered malware if you won the box and you could sue.

The NHL09 are paid ads- they've been in video games for years. Nothing new. McCain can buy ad time there too, if he wants to.

The DVR bit sounds fishy. I don't believe that DirecTV controls your DVR- YOU DO- you might want to ask your family members who made the recording.

Regarding "not being able to delete", you might want to open the manual and read it- there is no way DirecTV permanently bolted Obama ads to your DVR.
