When you set up the recording there is an option under post processing or jobs or something which lets you set up a commercial flagging job which runs after the recording has finished. When you see the recording listed in the Media Library there should be a crossed out "$" icon at the bottom if commercial flagging has been run and completed. If that's not there you know that the job hasn't been run so you won't be able to skip ads. I think there's also an option to tell it not to do commercial flagging on some channels, probably in the channel set up pages in mythtvsetup. PS - using the new "All" method of commercial detection works really well. Regards, Phill
