With Mythbuntu 9.10 I have found that commercial detection only works
reasonably on some Sky channels I record as MPEG2 using an S-Video
input from my Sky decoder.  It is pretty useless for the FreeviewHD
channels (DVB-T).  I am wondering if it is a Mythbuntu 9.10 problem, a
MythTV 0.22 problem, or maybe just that the detection does not work
well with DVB-T H.264 recordings.
