I haven't watched that CSI yet, so I'll try to see how accurate the
commercial detection worked and see what it missed and why.  I have
noticed it mess up on CSI before and saved one episode from a few weeks
ago but hadn't had a chance to do much debugging on it yet.

Ahh, brave soul.  I wrote the commercial detection code and I don't even
leave auto-skip turned on. :)  I'll try to put some time into debugging
this sometime soon.  It has been bugging me a little, but most of the time
I just blame it on letting my wife control the remote. :)
