i cant really offer much help, but thought i'd mention that this
thread prompted me to look into my issues, see if its related. based
off a few of the earlier sugestions (rerunning mythcommflag, and
rebuilding the sql DB), non worked.
google sugests that UK signals do not abide by the same comskip rules
as other countries - blank frames not present for example, so i've put
it down to the fact that commskip will never work for me reliably
(DVB-S2 and DVB-T feeds).
