Commercial detection is getting worse for me

When I first starting using Channels (approximately a month ago), I was amazed at how well commercial detection was working as it was spot on. Lately I’m seeing very poor results with many commercial segments being completely missed while others times only catching a few commercials in the block and missing the rest. Is anyone else seeing this?

I’m on the beta channel and up to date…

Can you also provide some additional details? Is there a difference between OTA / TVE / Custom station recordings? Are you seeing it more on specific stations, times of day, any other ways to slice it? Have you manually re-run commercial detection and gotten the same results?

As an example, Jeopardy on my local CBS affiliate is hit or miss, mostly miss, with whole blocks of commercials not detected, even on a manual re-run. Yet other shows on the same station--even football during live detection--seem fine. Meanwhile, I almost never have an issue with something from HGTV.

Thanks for sharing. All of my TV is via TVE. That said, the worst for me was Pawn Stars on the History channel. Not sure why it would be so accurate on some channels/programs yet very hit or miss on others. It seemed to be near perfect for the first month of use for me…
