=== Legacy ===
Beginning in 2006, [[DirecTV]] began a series of [[commercials]] in which characters from popular movies and television shows [[break the fourth wall]] to tout the service's picture quality and the number of channels available in high definition. Instead of using [[computer-generated imagery|CGI]] the original actors normally reprise their roles on recreated sets, and resulting footage is mixed with the original scenes.<ref name="farhi">Farhi, Paul.
