The commercial detection is better/worse on a per channel basis. Some
networks split out the commercials better than otheres. Those
networks that have "bumpers" like X show will be back, work better
than those that don't. Some networks cut the commercials pretty close
and/or actually put things in (for other reasons sometimes) that would
foil commercial detection. I think commercail detection in myth is
really pretty good and I don't know that there'll ever be perfect
detection.
