Making tve recordings from tennis channel. I turn off the "detect commercials" option on each show...but commercials are still marked in the recording...any ideas how to stop this?
Are the markers wrong?
No they seem to be in the right spots when they are there. Some commercials aren't marked but I know detection isn't perfect.
Check the dvr log for time around that recording. What does the commercial detection message say?

It appears that Tennis is using the new ad detection. This is a process that does not use Comskip, and I don't believe it can be disabled at this time.
Here's a link to the thread where this was announced:
I will disable smart ad detector on tennis channel
Thank you.
