I've seen that happen only rarely, but most often when the video image 
is fairly dark.

My biggest annoyance, though, is that it leaves off the last few seconds 
of video before skipping and starts a few seconds late at the new place 
almost every time on almost every channel.  It often cuts off important 
"last words" before commercials and stuff.  So I usually don't enable 
the detection at playback time.
