I never had any consistent joy commercial flagging in the UK - and I
tried just about every option. I do believe however that it's doable -
it just needs someone to get stuck into some 'heuristic' detection
(i.e. a little more flexible and adaptable). The heuristic approach
has been discussed before on one of the mailing lists.

When I moved to Singapore before Christmas and set up my boxes from
scratch again, I was very pleasantly surprised to find that commercial
flagging was enabled by default (I wouldn't have bothered trying it
again) and that it works pretty much flawlessly on both the local
dvb-t and cable (via pvr-250) transmissions. Probably not much help to
you - but hopefully some encouragement; when it works it's a fantastic
feature.
