I tried CrossEPG. It was an epic disaster.
Took me loads of fiddling about to get the box working again.
WTF doesn't restoring a ViX backup remove plug-ins that weren't installed when the backup was made??
It installs ones that were installed, just doesn't remove ones that were not installed.
Something is getting EPGs for most channels so OpenVIX clearly has something in it by default that does that function, but what is it?
If the program is in the EPG at the time that you create the autotimer then the timers get created minutes afterwards.
Otherwise, Menu -> Autotimer > Menu (again) -> (6) Setup from the pop up menu that appears. Each selected option has a short discription that may help understanding the options.

There are two backup restores, one is a settings restore, one is a plugin restore.
A settings restore can be applied even though you do not have the plugin installed. All it does is copy the settings file among other files.
A plugin restore is a plugin re-installation based on a list of what is saved in the backup file of what you installed. Some plugins are pre-installed in the image so you don't get the option.
There are several EPG readers. Freesat and now/next are enabled by default.
EDIT:
Applying a setting backup does not uninstall plugins. Best to flash image again and apply the backup.

There are two routes from here, I can guess what you are seeing and draw the wrong conclusion. Or you can post what you actually see. I sense the frustration, lets get through this by providing as much information as possible so others can hep you.

Pedantically - never.
AutoTimers always stay as AutoTimers (until you delete them).
From time to (configurable) time the AutoTimer process runs and for each AutoTimer it finds at of the entries in the EPG that match it. If you don't currently have a Timer set for that (and Disabled Timers are still set Timers in this respect) then it will add a Timer (which will run clash checks).
The AutoTimer is unchanged by this action (unless you have one set with a "number of times to record" countdown option).Yes. Hence the (configurable) above....can I make that happen quite frequently...
It's somewhere in the menus.
In the AutoTimer list press Menu, then "6 Setup" and there are two poll options near the top.

Good grief.
I'm really longing to see HTF you think you're going to tell if that option is present from one screenshot showing, obviously, some other option.

Pressing right/left does not change it to anything else other than disabled?

Can you check if this file is present on your receiver please?
/proc/stb/frontend/1/rf_switch
Not much there at all.

Then your receiver is not capable of using internal loop through. Please disregard my earlier comment about loop through. Sorry.
