Hi Steve,

   For ITV HD I just did a scan and it got picked up, until now you need
the itvhd2.diff patch but I believe that has been ported to trunk now.
So latest trunk with a scan of the multiplex that broadcasts ITV HD
should get you going.

Advert detection works 90% of the time on my rig and works perfectly with
channel 5 for some reason :) - here are my settings:

Advert Flagging Method = All available methods

Strict Advert Detection = Off (Unchecked)

Regards

Dave K.
