I wonder how they will detect the commercials.<br>

My guess would be, that since they know exactly when the commercial<br>

take that into account.<br>

I work for a TV Station, we don't even really know when the breaks will happen. We know the length of them but they fall +/- 10 mins from their scheduled time. A report is written afterwards to reconcile the logs for advertisers, but we are never able to promise specific time. Multiply that but the number of channels Dish have, then throw in a bunch of local channels, then throw in different types of breaks, (National / Local / Promo), its beyond worth it to flag a break. From Dishs point of view, they'll only care about what breaks they can put commercials in, not national breaks.<br>
<br>
It'll be done in a similar way to Myth.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote><div>Since this only applies to primetime shows on ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox and it isn't real time, the job isn't quite as large. </div>
