In *my* experience the advert marking has been good enough for me to locate and then flick a few frames either side to remove them. Its a welcome feature for me even if its not 100% frame accurate, again not something I bloody need.

Sorry for the tone but I just get really annoyed that you seem to think this machine should be a pro editor or something for like ~£200. The advert marking is usually within about 12-25 frames for me, close enough to locate and erase.

Sorry it doesnt work for you and yes your letters to Sony are worthwhile and we appreciate it but your constant slagging off of anything that anyone seems to suggest is good about the 870 is just getting tedious.

John I apologise for this outburst, not a good day and I should not take it out on you. Maybe my outburst was a bit too vehement
