Does the current commercial detection (Logo method) detect not only the 
channel logo, but the TV Rating logo? I have noticed that most of the 
shows in the US show the TV rating immediately after the commercials 
when the show resumes playing. It stays on the screen for about 5 to 10 
seconds then goes away. It won't help with detecting the beginning of 
the commercial but it would be a great way to know when the commercials end.
