I have noticed the accuracy of commercial skip on my legacy Tablo 4 tuner has degraded significantly. Sometimes the system incorrectly marks a commercial early and when it does I need to back up, disable commercial skip, watch until the commercial, manually skip forward, and then enable commercial skip. This has happened about 20 times within the last couple weeks but before that it was a very rare occurrence. Has anyone else had similar issues?

No. But sub-channels can be touchy. Reliability can depend on the length of the commercial.
Good point about the sub-channels but my problems have been on the main channels, basically first-run weekly network shows.
Yes, I’ve had the same problems. Sometimes it completely misses a commercial break and other times it wil skip 30 seconds or more of the program along with the commercial. This will sometimes happen 2 or 3 times during a 1 hour show and other times, it will work near perfectly. I’d estimate that it works near perfect about 50 - 60% of the time.

Somewhere in the legacy posts is the amount of time a commercial can last before the commercial skip software becomes unhappy.
