The only flags I would be interested in are "Begin of Commercial Break" and 
"End of Commercial Break". I will then buy a VCR that can interpret those 
signals (and automatically fast-forward to the "EoCB" when it finds a 
"BoCB") and tape everything I want to see. It will make watching movies on 
TV so much more entertaining (not to mention time-efficient).   :-)
