thanks, it sounds like this one is an evolution of the ones posted by 
Thomas, and therefore I should try this first?

It's a couple of years ago that I was using it, but it worked say 70% of 
the time. After the ad detection job had run I would go in and edit the 
file and transcode. I think it worked poorly on Film 4 (where there are 
typically a lot of trailers for films or similar at the start and end of 
ad breaks), and pretty well on traditional channels (ITV, ITV2 etc). In 
any case it was very helpful and I could usually edit a recording in 30 
seconds or so.
