 The problem is, how do you know exactly how long a commercial break is?  If
 the typical commerical is 30 seconds long, a difference of 10% in speed
 would only be 3 seconds, but how exact are the stations for 30 seconds
 breaks plus the occaisional few seconds of dead time between commericals.

 I'll try timing a few commericals tonight, but since no one else seems to
 notice this issue either, I'm willing to be it's probably just a relative
 observer effect, as mentioned earlier.

Why not time the commercial while playing normally.  Then exit,
restart the program and increase the speed and check the times again. 
I have noticed it, but just assumed it wsd my head playing around with
me.  It has a habbit of doing that :\

Alright, so I tested this by comparing the OSD display of the time within the recording vs a stopwatch in hand.

After 2 mins of real-time, the recording was lagging behind by 11-12 seconds (ie 1:48)

6 minutes - behind by 23 seconds
8 minutes - behind by 30 seconds
10 minutes - behind by 38 seconds
15 minutes - behind by 42 seconds.

Any ideas what do to next?
