Hey

This has been discussed quite a few times on the list before. The bottom 
line is that UK commercial detection just doesn't work. All the current 
methods are designed for american TV and work very successfully by all 
accounts.

If you have the means to code your own version, I'm sure there will be a 
lot of grateful users out there!
