Advances like commercials in 720p, 5.1, and full aspect, have made
detection harder. Worse yet is a recording where the program is in
14:9 or 4:3, and the commercials are the only 16:9 content in the
whole stream... :(

Overall, for me, it's quite wrong on about 1 recording a week, maybe
2.. That's not bad out of easily 20+ hours a week of recorded TV.
