On the shows I record they are very accurate as well.  I haven't had much
time lately to go off troubleshooting channels/shows where it doesn't
work that well, but it is on my TODO list.  I find them to be 90-95%
accurate on most shows/channels I record and probably close to 100% on
some of them.  I don't have Auto-Skip set on by default but I do turn it
on using the menu during playback sometimes when watching a show where I
know the commercial detection is pretty much perfect.

As always, patches welcome if anyone can see why it doesn't work on their
particular favorite channel/show. :)
