I just went in to check "The Good Doctor" from last night. It started 
playing from the beginning and no issues. When I went into edit mode and 
loaded the commercial cut list it should 4 or 5 of them. I didn't watch

11 in Raleigh-Durham, NC using a HDHR Connect tuner. Shield TV frontend 
was v30-983.
