So… Made during the filming of VI, on the set, with just extras, on hair and makeup’s day off?

Clearly just clever editing of pieces of the movie with just Shatner doing some extra lines behind a green screen / map of the movie. Note when he speaks vs walking around. None of the actors looked like that when directv was around, except for shatner, who is older too, but they don't contrast it with older shots of his face.

Assuming the 2006 date in the title is when thr commercial was created, that’s about 15 years after the movie’s 1991 release.
