I think someone posted a neat trick to do exactly this not too long ago. I think it was replace the advert detection command (in mythtv-setup) with /bin/true (may vary from distro to distro?). Otherwise something like sleep 1?

Although if it were me I would be keen to get the advert detection working again, as far as I am aware it shouldn't be broken? What were the specific symptoms? Fails to run / start? Errors out? No commercials detected?
