How to Run Commerical Detection (SmartChapters) on Recordings

Turn on the SmartChapters feature to automatically detect commercials in a recorded program. Once SmartChapters have been activated, you will see alternating segments of dark and light grey in the Web Player timeline. Dark grey segments mark commercial breaks while light grey segments mark the show program.

With SmartChapters activated you can refine TV search results to include or exclude commercials.
