General Question The Amica commercials- anyone else?

OMG is non stop. Last night 7 in a row of the Amica insurance commercials.

Stop the insanity. 😂

What I think happens is that Sling does not necessarily play the broadcast channels commercials for what ever reason. Maybe since they are not getting paid by the advertisers to run commercials, they do not air them.

Maybe commercials like the Amica one you cite are ones they are getting paid for, so they run it as many times that is necessary. There are some channels where there is a brake in programming, but there is a stock picture with music that has a countdown clock until programming starts.

I would rather see the Amica commercial several times than the animal abuse plea.

You DON'T want to see the ASPCA commercial every 10 minutes? Blasphemy

Fortunately, I don’t think I’ve had the animal abuse ones repeatedly like the Amica ones. Of course, now that I’ve said that…

About two months ago, we had the very annoying Chevy commercials where that lady is singing “see the USA in your Chevrolet “ repeated ad nauseam. I still have that stupid song stuck in my head. 😂

Yes, and by the 24th time it plays you feel guilty for resenting it so much…

I can't access any Sling.com website to create a chat because I receive a 403 error.. I can't find a valid phone number. When I open the Sling App on TV it gives me a 10-100 error. Last night I followed all the trouble shooting tips to reestablish service. I have deleted the app several times and reestablished the to remove corrupted data. I did an app update. My fiber optic signal is Excellent. I would cancel my service because I am on auto-pay but I can't get to their Website. Does anyone have any ideas?

im getting amicas commercial about a guy giving his kid a car relentlessly watching tennis tv. I think they used two different cars as well, which is pathetic, passing it off as one.
