I'm using ShowAnalyzer with profiles, the current version. I've found some tweaks for CBS, and overall it's working well enough.
But I noticed the other day that sometimes they put a particularly long black space before the commercial--like 4 or more seconds. And when that happens, SA doesn't see that as a transition to commercial.
So I'm watching, it fades to black, sits there for 4-5 seconds, and now I'm watching a commercial. I have to skip forward.
SA will find a transition place somewhere inside that commercial block, and it will find the *back* end of the commercial block--so in my skipping forward, at some point playback skips over some of the commercial content and goes to the beginning of the next show segment.
Question: how do I tune my CBS profile to know that the very long fade is a transition point?

Got it handled, over on SA forums.
It was a bunch of commercials bunched together and being seen as a long segment, going beyond the "max commercial length". Upped that number, and all is well.
Does anyone else watch Me-TV or H2? They're infamous for putting five minute snake oil informercials inside their programming, and I had to set them up specially as well.
Fortunately for all, SA and its profiles works well. This is a situation where ReplayTV would have fallen down, and with enough of it I would have kicked Replay out the door regardless.
