me too, i'm in upstate new york. my comskip works well enough, but it does seem to miss one commercial break of every show i record, not sure why as it never used to do this with the older versions.

I use Time Warner (Texas) and comskip has worked for me and I don't believe I've made changes from the defaults. If you tell me where to find the settings, I'll post them.

If you tell me where to find the settings, I'll post them. i haven't tried comskip again yet, but check out: http://www.kaashoek.com/comskip/viewtopic.php?t=36 I was trying to see if there was a more optimized version for usa cable tv programs. it's basically just comskip.ini

Here's the comskip.ini that I use with Comskip version 79.33. It's a slighly modified version of the settings Tipstr posted in a previous thread. I use it regularly with Time warner analog cable (NY) with great success
