I have it set to use all detection modes. I can not say it is 100% but
it is very very close. With only a few exceptions about the only
commercials it seems to miss consistently are those sponsor bits usually
at the end of a show that appear to be part of the actual show just
before it rolls into the real commercials.
All in all I have been very pleased with the picture quality and
especially the commercial skipping feature.
