I have a timer configured to record terrestrial BBC1 for 15 minutes every day.

The recent gales have brought down my aerial which probably will not be fixed until next week, at which time I want the daily recordings to start again

Because the tuner can no longer find a channel for my repeating recording timer the box was/is reporting a tuner failure or a timeshift failure.

I have both terrestrial and satellite tuners in the box and I am continuing using the box for satellite reception.

I thought the solution would be to disable the daily repeating timer but having done so a check the following day shows it has been (automatically) re-enabled.

Is this the expected behaviour when disabling a repeating timer?
