For the heck of it, I recorded the replay of Necessary Roughness on Thurs at 1 AM and the rogue commercials were not there. I guess we need to trout-slap V* about the prime time stuff. I have not noticed it on any channels other than USA - at least not yet.

More Fiber posted : Happened again last night during both Burn Notice and Suits.

Was clearly a local insertion issue as one of the ads was for a local jewler. If needed, I can get you the exact time and ad.

johnf2 posted : Checked out the DVR recording of Royal Pains on USA HD (550), and right in the middle of the poker game at 31:58, a FiOS commercial cuts off the show for 1:30 minutes. The FiOS commercial is in a SD box with thick, big black side bars, only about a 1/3 of the screen wide. Report if this continues to happen on any channel. Thanks.

Am in VH08 and noticed that Royal Pains DVR recording was cut off before it ended. Will check recording tonight for misplaced or added commercials!

In Nec Roughness, there was one that occurred just as the kid started in on the last spelling bee near the end of the show. They then went into the regular commercial break at about 11:59. There was another one but I can't remember when it happened.

Rattler posted : Did anyone notice odd and abrupt commercial injection times on USA-HD (550) both last night and tonight? There were abrupt cuts to commercials 3 or 4 times, cutting out portions of normal programming.

I particularly noticed it tonight during "Royal Pains" and "Necessary Roughness". They occurred about 1 - 2 minutes before the normal commercial breaks and the lengths of the programs were extended beyond what the schedule called for by about 1 - 2 minutes. "Necessary Roughness" ended at around 11:04 instead of 11:02 and the DVR recording of it terminated before the show finished.
