Thanks everyone.

I finally got MythTV development time from the wife and found that one more
press of the button takes me to the end of the commercial.

I'm not getting automatic commercial skip when I "skip to next cut point",
but pressing once for the commercial beginning and once more for commercial
end is fine.
