I don't know why everyone is discussing fade to black detection, special
signals in the vertical sync, or whatever for commercial detection.  All
ya gotta do is monitor the sound track and wait for the volume to go up.
Voila, we found a commercial.  Course, this may not work for charger football
games due to crowd noise, but Padre baseball games should have no problem.
