I don't use commercial skip, but I've just spent some time in the
Frontend Setup screens, initially without finding this. Not the first
time I've been lost there. Perhaps the problem is that there are
multiple 'General' screens. I wasn't using an Android FE but I don't
think that would be different.

But there's also

detection, and IIRC somewhere in mythtv-setup that enables it.
