<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family:

flagging and skipping in New Zealand?</div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family:

<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family:
times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color:
transparent; font-style: normal;">Many years ago I was
successfully using commercial skipping, I think it was
successful on most of my recordings maybe 80%.</div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family:
times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color:
transparent; font-style: normal;">Then at some point it became
pretty unusable. I think the main reason for the change was
that we got more HD channels in NZ and the commercial skipping
did not work as well (or not at all from memory) on the HD
recordings.</div>

<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family:
times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color:
transparent; font-style: normal;">I ended up removing all
commercial flagging jobs, there wasn't much point having the
backend grinding away to create flagged recordings when the
result was very inaccurate.<br>

<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family:

the latest experience is.</div>

Works well enough for us on SD freeview satellite. <br>
Then again I haven't watched TV for the last six months, our mythbox
mostly records kids programmes.<br>
<br>
Sharp cuts to black (ie lightning or similar) seem to confuse it the
most.<br>
