[mythtv-users] Possible Problem with commercial detection code

[Adam Biskobing]

What I did was to go through in my zap2it subscription and removed every 
channel that I did not have.  That way no more recordings on those 
channels and no more problems.  I guess the best solution would be to 
fix the channel changing code so that this is no longer an issue, but 
that is beyond my abilities.
