Hence its very hit and miss as each country (and each channel) is slightly different.You can configure/tweak comskip (there are loads and loads of options) but I doubt believe anyone has had great success with UK channels (as each is different - where as some countries have standards for all the channels when commercials start or stop - the UK aren't too stringent on this). As you can imagine channels don't want you to be able to detect/skip commercials.J.</blockquote>
