I've also noticed that the commercial flagging is worse on my HD shows
than SD. I record on an HDHomerun, but with an antenna. It's probably
problems with specific shows rather than having anything to do with
the HDHR or the HD, at least on my end. Also anything recorded from
the CW has audio sync problems on my macbook but not on my main
frontend, you might want to check different channels on different
frontends.

Another program you can try for watching in windows is XBMC with
MythBox. I hear it's pretty good.
