Now that is a great reason to not have only new commercials. Anyone out there know if new commercials have a different flag like new shows????
This is really a tangent. Imagine if there was a flag for the first time a commercial aired. Lets say it was shown first on the Uncle Billybobs All-time Polka Extravaganza showing at 6AM monday morning which, surprisingly, I did not record. Then every other time it showed, even in PTAT it would not be a new commercial anymore and hence would not record. It would be a repeat. I know that there is not a flag that tracks every user's first time viewing of each commercial. The idea is impractical.
