It's nothing to do with DVB-T though, the ad detection just isn't clever enough at the moment to find most adverts on UK TV it seems.
It does find some, but not all. It also finds things which aren't
ads at all so you have to be careful.
The ad detection doesn't really work in Australlia on Free To air analogue TV either, but I thought I saw something about there being an improvement in CVS a few weeks ago.

I would hazard a guess that my setup correctly detects ads about 10% of the time. Im using DVB-T in the UK also with 0.16.
Hopefully there will be some improvements in the commercial detection code, until then its not a big deal to just FF ;)
re commercial detection
everything that I can google about how mythtv/mythcommflag does it seems to indicate that we are well into the realms of image processing and AI !
is it just urban folklore, or is there not some sort of specific 'signal' that marks the beginning/end of commercial breaks. Is there not a similar mechanism for marking programmes, so that instead of working by timeslot and hoping that the schedule is tight, a recorder can just wait for the signal to start/stop the recording...
of course, if it were that easy, I'm sure mythtv would already do it, so... - perhaps it exists, but only on some channels ?
can anyone enlighten me ?
thanks,
Jules (UK/DVB-T user)
