Live TV and commercial's

Okay so with emby becoming so much better with live I am starting to record more TV shows. The problem I am facing now is how to remove those stupid and later costly commercials. Kids and wife love them, my pocket book not so much. I have used MCE Buddy in the past but it didn't always detect the commercials correctly and I would lose pieces of the show. I am just looking for recommendations for better commercial detection or maybe new profiles for MCE buddy.

I used MCEBuddy for many months and like you, find that too much of the show gets cut off. I tried many different profiles and for some shows it does a really good job. Unfortunately what I have found that it sort of depends on the Network your recording from. Some stations give a lot of "black space" between the end of the section you're watching and the commercial so MCEBuddy can pick it up really well and give a good cut. Some stations are not that good though.I gave up on it but I wanted a way to cut commercials at least for shows that I keep copies of. Most of my shows now just get watched and deleted so I just skip through the commercials (luckily my wife hates commercials as much as I do). 

 

However, the software I finally broke down and bought was a program called Videoredo. It's not automated and I have to cut by hand but it works really well and doesn't change anything about the video file. It leaves the parts before and after the commercials unchanged. 

 

It may not be what you're looking for or trying to do, but it is what I finally resolved myself to do.

Anymore when watching live TV, which isn't often, I see more ads for big commercial company's then I do the little guy.

what about your local businesses who depend on those commercials?

We're only fast forwarding through them anyway.
