As I haven't lived in every Australian DVB transmission area, I can only
answer from my own area. You can probably find out this standardisation
information with a few strategic googles. AFAICT the guv'mnt lets the
providers transmit however they want. The ABC for example, added extra
channels, but seriously dropped the quality (bitrate) to accommodate it.
Anyway...
I generally record SBS (interruption advertising) and ABC (between
programmes). I only auto-flag ads on SBS recordings.
I'm using Myth 0.23
Most programmes I record the ads are flagged 95% correctly. Occasionally
there are programmes which have black frames in the video stream (notably
"The Hairy Bikers Food Tour of Britain") which are not before advertising,
and myth gets hung-up on these - not every time, but occasionally.
