Would you prefer recordings of complete shows, to test the complete  
commflagging algorithm, or are short snippets of program-to-commercial  
and commercial-to-program transitions sufficient, to only test  
detection of those?
And where would you like to get the cards sent?

I could contribute some German recordings. Commercials *are* usually  
detected here, but are always a few seconds up to one minute off.
