disable-dso not working

[neil]

Have got two HDR's now using CF 3.03, my location in S.Wales gives me the dual set of channels from Mendip and Wenvoe so I normally manually tune each box to exclude channels from the other Tx. The one tuned to Mendip I found had been re-tuned early this afternoon I'm assuming due to a caption appearing and not being answered, in fact while manually re-tuning to Mendip it happened again and started to do an auto-retune before I stopped it. The other box on Wenvoe has thus far been unaffected - both have disable-dso package installed.
I am unaware of any configuration necessary for disable-dso so I wondered what is happening as it's not doing much disabling !

I've got disable-ota installed as well on both boxes

It is a requirement that the box is rebooted on a regular basis in order that disable-dso can do its work. If you leave the box turned on for long periods without reboots, the retune schedule entry cannot be removed when it gets inserted, and then it gets acted on.

It's funny, but my boxes are hardly ever rebooted and they don't suffer these automated retunes. There is an Auto Update entry for 4:30 every morning as well...

Does this retune schedule entry live on some internal database which is only purged by disable-dso on reboot, then ?.
My boxes get a reboot at least once per day

Yes.
