I do have two short clips with mostly commericals.  They are MPTS, in 
otherwords
with captures of the entire TS stream.  Therefore they are fairly 
large.  One is
96MB and the other is 70MB.  I can send you those, if you tell me where.  Or I
can try to filter it down to a single program which would make it 
smaller.  But
you'd still need to tell me where to send it.
