If you're going with a combined frontend/backend solution be careful 
with trying to use as small a CPU as possible:  For MPEG-2 type 
recordings (PVR-250/350, etc), the commercial marking isn't done until 
after the program has completed running, so if you record a bunch of 
programs you're going to have a whole lot of priority 19 tasks running 
at the same time.  Commercial flagging may take a _long_ while with a 
slow CPU, which may not be a factor if you don't plan on watching 
something until the next day or later.
