It's hard for me to really say what is happening.  If I don't manually edit
the commercials, then I have 90% of the commercials still present.  So it's
hard to know what is working. The automatic scanning usually doesn't detect
the first part of a string of commercials.   For example on CBS, on a 4
minute commercial break, it missed the first 3 minutes and then skipped.  I
was hoping that I could manually edit with mythfrontend on a PC and then
test the commercial skip with leanfront.

Until the automatic commercial flagging works, I'll just do what I've
always done, just click forward and backwards a few times. I find that it
the flagging doesn't stop in time it's almost impossible to manually skip
backwards to the start of a segment of the program because the autoskip
won't let you.
