[rec.video] Commercial killer idea

mbutts@mentor.com (Mike Butts) (10/28/89)

I wonder if the commercials on closed-captioned programs are captioned as well?
Perhaps the absence of captioning could be used to detect commercial breaks on
such programs.  It must be much easier to just detect the presence of
captioning than to decode and display it, so such a device may be simple to
build.
