Analogue TV does have the blank frames.  Some guys from the university I
went to built a device to detect them.  It was for VCR commercial
removal.  When they tried to sell it, they found that there was already
a device available.  

I gave up on commercial detection but just realized last night that only
abc and seven have the dotted line at the top, and maybe commercial
detection will work for the other channels.
