FIOS is running ads over show content. After the regular ads are done and the show resumes, a couple of minutes later the action is int6errupted, typically in the middle of a sentence, for an ad for FIOS on-demand. When two or three ads have finished we return to the show but we have missed a few minutes of the action. Very annoyinf, can you make it stop?

I want to complain about this also.  It's happened several times during Rescue Me on FX between 10:00 and 11:00 p.m. EDT.  One of the interruptions was at 10:25; another was around 10:35; and I don't know the times of the others.  These are happening totally separate from regular ads and are causing the loss of content.

The interruptions are happening again during the Rescue Me repeat.  There were two ads at about 11:27 p.m. EDT, one for NASCAR and one for Turtle Wax. They came on about two minutes after the regular national ads.  I'm watching the repeat so I can see what I missed the first time, but it's not helping because these random ads are still stepping on the content.

This is also happening to me as well. So far I've seen it on the Traveler's Channel and Comedy Central. This happens to all shows. These are the more popular channels that I watch and this probably happens to other channels. This started around 1am yesterday.

The only time I have seen it is on a commercial break. It goes over other ads.

Why is Verizon FIOS cutting into programming with local commercials?  I've noticed that on several programs last night, about a minute or so after each regular commercial break the program was suddenly cut off and replaced by a local commercial followed by a FIOS commercial.  As a result, several minutes of programming are lost every hour.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Looks like there may be an issue @ advertisement insert.  We know about it, waiting on the proper depts to resolve it.  There is no need to call in about it as of right now.

This is fixed as of 2am 5/6 - If you are still noticing it, please message me with channels you see it on and some of your information.

Thanks!
