Commercial detection is near 100% accurate on my SD recordings, but probably drops to 75 or 80% on my ATSC HD recordings. One example is the new "Jay Leno Show" - They seem to use a 'fade through black to show movie clips, etc, which often get detected as commercials. So I have to manually turn off commercial skip and/or just set it to "notify" to not miss any parts of the show, then skip the commercials with the arrows.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I've noticed that the 'rating' logo for the Jay Leno show, instead of fading in to normal or just appearing, the area cycles through a rainbow of colors before going to a black background with "TV14" (or whatever rating) is shown. Gone are the days of a 'static' logo overlayed on the video... How much does that affect the commercial detection logic? </div>
<div><br></div><div>BTW, Excellent work, Chris!!!! Commercial detection & skipping is probably what helped make MythTV such a huge hit in my home. ;-) </div><div><br></div><div>J-e-f-f-A</div></div>
