On this point, is anyone in the UK using commercial skip on ITV/Channel
4???  I cannot get it to work successfully at all - I have resorted to
manually skipping them during playback :(

It also detects commercials during perfectly normal programs on BBC1 and
  BBC2 as well - so any help would be appreciated.

My signal to the mythtv box isn't great, but I am working on that one atm.

Cheers,

Richie

Richie,

I haven't tried it yet, but I often record from BBC/ITV/CH4 off my cable
feed.  I will turn on auto-detection and let you know.

Which detection method do you use ?
