If only we could work out a way to have MythTV electrocute people who
put their "cute" kids in their car/furniture/prebuilt home
commercials, my life would be complete.

The important thing is that I'm not bitter.

To make this message more relavent, have you noticed it's almost
always primetime network shows that do this?  I never have commercial
detect problems with cable unless there happens to be a very dark
scene, but shows on NBC and CBS regularly force me to turn off the
commercial skipping.  I seriously do think it's an effort to thwart
tivo.
