Add an option in Settings - Live TV and DVR - DVR Settings - remove commercials to keep a backup copy with commercials as well as the version with commercials removed. This a simple copy/rename of the recorded file before using comskip to remove commercials. There would also be a need to allow the same option in “record options - show advanced - remove commercials” when setting up a program to record to enable the creation of a backup copy with commercials on an ad-hoc basis. This would be an easy to implement way of getting round the problem of program content being lost if the crop was not successful. There could also be an option to keep the original version with commercials for a specified length of time before it is automatically deleted to save disk space.
