I asked for that months ago.  So far I have had exactly one person
actually send me samples...  in fact the very person you were
responding to.

So I'll say it again.  One of my ongoing projects within mythtv is a
complete overhaul of commflagging.  If we want it to work for anything
but just the north american market (except by dumb luck), I will need
examples.  To be exact, full, unedited recordings with a variety of
commercial cutovers (if there's more than one), and a variety of
actual content style.  The bigger sample set I have for testing, the
better I can make things work.  I need ones that fail miserably now,
and ones that work now...  a sampling of what needs to be dealt with.

The best way to do this is with an SD card or the like (of around 16GB
or larger so we can get a few recordings on there).  I can provide my
mailing address to any takers, and if needed, I can ship it back once
I've copied the files off.
