My SD recordings now flag commercials with the typecast patch and mythcommflag does a much better job of marking commercials with your patches for SD content.  I would never get percentage lines from the following log snippet on SD content but now I do.

I wonder if it is appropriate to add comments to tickets saying "I applied this patch, and it works for me". Maybe if enough people do it, the devs will take the hint? I know they don't like "Me, too" comments on tickets with no patches, but maybe "Works for me" on tickets with patches would be received positively?
