I hope it goes without saying that my question is not a complaint. I
should have led off by mentioning how much I appreciate it, and how
addicted I am to commercial free TV.

That said, of course it bothers viewers to have a segment of the show
chopped out. Again, not a complaint since I'm grateful to have the
feature in the first place, and have some ideas about working around the
problem, but more a question of whether there are knobs or buttons to
tweak to deal with this. I'm assuming I'm not the first to ask this,
but I had little luck finding anything to help with the adjustments.
I've searched the archives, trac, and the wiki for more clues, without
making much progress.

Fair enough, and that works for me personally. But it's not something I
think I'll be able to get my wife or kids to do. Again, I can live with
this (as can they -- it's pretty easy to recognize one of these misses,
and easy to manually correct it with jump/rewind, etc.), but I was
hoping there might be some "best practices" for how to minimize the
problem in the first place.
Thanks for the reply.
