Regularly-occurring ad pop-ups now showing at bottom of screen.

A band of pop-up ads for SeriesL5, Hyper Real Engine, etc has recently started appearing at the bottom of my TV screen at regular intervals. They are quite intrusive/distracting and often obscure any text/subtitles, etc that may appear in the bottom third of the screen. Can these be removed and, if so, how?

Thank you for your question. Is this on a Samsung TV? Do you have the Fibe device or Fibe app?

I have a Samsung TV and Bell Satellite TV. Thanks!

Thank you. I believe those popup ads specifically are generated by your Samsung TV. You will see bumper ads on Bell Satellite TV for other or upcoming programs, but not the ads you are seeing.
