The only commercial detection that works 100% for me is the aspect ratio
change. I sent the guy who codes the commercial detection stuff a clip of
the aspect ratio change and he managed to get it to detect that.

The strange thing is, when I used to use an analog card (pvr250) the
commercial detection sucess rate would be about 95% !! with dual DVB tuners
unless it can use the aspect ratio change as detection then its about a 5%
success rate.. if that ! Maybe the dvb signals are too clean in comparison
to the analog stream ?
