I've been using these patches ever since your PVR-150 typecast fix was 
added to 0.27-fixes and have only seen positive results.  My testing is 
only "watching" recordings.  HD recordings still seem to be fine but SD 
recordings are much better.  Where I wasn't getting any commercial flags 
even after running the rebuild on the recordings I'm now getting the 
right number of flagged commercials.  Not all "marks" are perfect but 
they're definitely on par with Myth 0.24 if not better.  So what's the 
next step to get this added to the 0.27-fixes branch?  Have you seen any 
negative results?

Thanks again for all your work.
