I get the same if I record from a timer.
I have a fixed dish and a motorised dish, my motorised dish was blown out of alignment and I never noticed until I started to wonder why red button recordings (same channel) were 100% perfect but timer recordings were blank, It was only when we went to watch a program on another sat that we found the lack of picture/signal
I havn't got around to redoing my motorised dish so until then I don't try to do timer recordings and the missus misses out on west ham if they are not on 28.2.

No and neither does the op's post have anything to do with timers or it does but it's not the fault of the timer itself it's the way the timer records using the other dish input to the one being watched.
When you hit red it records using the dish you are using at the time.Hi wonder if anyone can help when i press record on the program i am watching it records fine but when i try to set up a future timer it says it is recording but when i try to watch it back it is blank.
Recordings set by timer use the other dish, if it's out of alignment (like mine) or connections are not good then it will be blank due to no/low signals.
The only way to test is to turn off the dish you know to be good and see if you get a picture on the other input.

I set a few timers on a TM-2T this weekend, all recorded fine to internal SATA.

You mean using 'instant record'? Yes, of course then the recording will be made from the actual channel of the actual tuner.
You can't say that.
At the time of creating the timer the timer sanity will check if the recording fits in the existing list of recording given the tuner configuration.
Which tuner will be used to carry out the recording can't be seen beforehand: that depends completely on the situation at the time of the recording (simultaneous other recordings/Live-TV/Streaming TV).

I would lay money that all the blank recordings are using the other input.
If you follow it logically and red button recordings record to the hdd and the recording location is a global setting then it's not the recording settings as they are proven to work from the
information given by the op.
There is no history of the tm2t having a problem with multiple recordings so the logical source of the problem would be the 2nd input which hasn't been said to be tested.
Not sure how to do it with the vix image but with the test pli image I have here it's
menu
setup
system
customise
preferred tuner
If I use tuner A I get no picture or lots of picture breakup because my dish is out of alignment.
If I use tuner B I get a strong signal and a picture all the time.
If the op could try his 2 different tuner settings then he can at least eliminate it rather than blaming the box or software.
I have today run anbother feed from my fixed dish and I can now watch or record from either input without any issues.

I would simply use the satfinder for checking feeds.
And/or disable one tuner and see how that goes. If no problems found, then swap feeds.

Having bought this box through a friend I am also having the same problem. Recording is fine when pressing red button, shows on the epg Info bar as using Tuner A then if I switch to another channel it shows as using Tuner B so both work then. However timer recordings are always blank. I have updated the vix image too still the same problem. Is there a setting up procedure when you initially setup the settings, ie tuner scan etc which I may have set up wrong? I have checked both my sat feeds and they do seem to work although if I remove the feed from tuner input 1 it just doesnt work at all, i thought the input 2 would kick in and you would still get it working. Is there a enable/disable tuner function within the vix menu which might need adjusting?
Any help and advice appreciated
The box doesn't detect that you disconnect a feed: Enigma simply believes what you tell it via the tuner configuration.
All these problems only suggest that there is a problem with a coax/connector/LNB.

I Ordered a Box up today, as i have been holding off Purchasing a new Twin Tuner for some time. I was looking @ the SOLO2, but the price was putting me off & was going to wait for the Price to drop a little before getting it. But, when i seen this box as a Twin Tuner, BUY BUY i thought. This looks like a Winner to me & hopefully it is as good as the Vu Duo boxes. By this not being a CLONE BOX from China (Not that i have any issues with Clone Boxes, they are the dogs bollox) I am hoping the quality is there with the box & support is great to & will get better.
I am hoping the issue that others have been having with the Recording, does not affect me. I will post an update on here when i Recieve & test the box over the next week.
