Of course this is very frustrating, as you have to say "don't delete"
then re-watch, then seek to the place you were and find the real
programming at the end.

I suspect a better behaviour when you hit End (Skip to next commercial mark)
if there is no next mark (or the next mark is end of program) to not seek
at all, giving a message like the not-flagged message.   The user can
choose to quit watching or hit "D" at that point easily enough.
