I've tried all of the detection methods on most channels now, and 
there's nothing that really works properly.

A while back I was quite hopeful that the logo detection would do the 
job, but it doesn't work either.  A shame, since it's probably the most 
consistent ad marker across all the channels.  (Annoyingly so, I hate logos)

Turn the ad detection off and save yourself some CPU cycles/heat!
