Mmm... mine is set to notify (not auto-skip), but it always seems to get
Alias perfectly... it's Angel that it has the most problems with.
But, I'd say 80%+ of the time detection is perfect. Certain shows are
better than others. The notify mode works great for me, and if the time
shown to skip is way off I just skip forward 30 seconds at a time until
I've skipped them all. Otherwise I hit my skip commercials button and
it's fine.
So, it's not PERFECT, but I'd say it's amazingly good for what it does.
