While on the topic of commercial skip, I was wondering is there an option
to have it skip the commercials but rewind about 15 seconds before
beginning playing.  I've turned off commercial skip because I'm to
paranoid, and find myself always rewinding to see if it skipped to the
right place, I don't want to miss any of my show.  If it would skip all the
commercials except for the last 10 seconds or so I would be able to
visually see that it is skipping to the correct place and my paranoia might
be satisfied enough to allow me to turn automatic detection and skipping
back on and enjoy the connivence of automatic flagging and skipping.

So many options in there that I'm not sure if I've looked in the right
place for this one?

I do love this thing, as soon as we get the ability to select a recorded
show and dump it directly to DVD from within the Myth GUI I will be
completely satisfied, and MythTv will become a part of my life that I can't
do without.

Humm.. Now that I think about it I think I might be to that point already.
