Thanks, sorry, I wasn't clear enough. But what is the motherboard/video 
you are using? I couldn't see it there, unless it was mentioned in a 
previous post I missed.

By the way, I'm in Australia and have pretty good results with 
commercial detection. Not perfect, but I'd rather have it than not. When 
it "fails", it tends to not find the commercials at all, rather than 
mess up a particular break.
