The gizmo we used to sell sensed video black.. it works ok.. until you
get an old movie that has lots of black in it.. that will pause your
machine when you don't want it paused..

I still would like to see some ques in the broadcast signal that let you
que your vcr in and out... but of course that would lead to a t.v. set
with the same feature.. it would automatically go into mute and out
again...

I get the idea the advertisers would not want to support a station that
broadcast such ques..

--too bad..
