Ini file for Discovery channel ?

Post by miniGranis »

Hello !
I tried to search but I got no hits.
Does anyone have a working ini file / settings for Discovery channel ?
Since their logo is shown all the time it's not so easy to detect the commersials. But since Discovery is quite a popular channel I assume I cant be the first one asking this.

Erik,
Sorry but that didn't do it.
It did mark commersials at the right places but far to late, ie the commersial started and ran for about 1 minute before Comskip "flagged" it.
I guess I need to follow the howto post on tuning - right ?
