Check your settings... the 'auto-skip' commercial setting now has 3 
possible values:  "Don't Skip", "Notify, but don't skip" and 
"Auto-Skip".

The "Notify, but don't skip" is new & causes an OSD to pop up notifying 
you that a commercial was detected, but leaves it up to you if you want 
to actually skip it or not by pressing 'Z'.
