Recordings break at 3:30 AM

[kjhskj75]

I have a problem that recordings scheduled to be running at 0330 break at that time.

(other people have seen this: http://www.avforums.com/threads/foxsat-hdr-recordings-terminated-at-03-30.1474995/)

I presume there is some job that runs at that time that needs top see a particular transponder. (I only have 1 connection to the dish)

Is there any way to cancel this task or schedule it at another time ?

The foxsat wakes up in the middle of the night to carry out various housekeeping activities. Checking for software updates, channel changes, building chapter thumbnails etc. This requires access to the freesat home transponder. Only way out I can think off is leave it on on the nights when you want to record overnight.

Or set a Watch timer for 02:20am to 04:30?

Good Idea, any idea though if a recording reservation takes precedence over a watch reservation (not something I ever tested) ? Assuming the OP has the correct loop cable you could of course make sure the watch reservation is for a channel in the same frequency band and polarisation as the recording. If only 1 tuner is actually connected then a channel sharing same transponder as recording should be safe.

Leaving the machine switched on did work.

It seems it's happy to interrupt an unmonitored recording, but not if it thinks someone's watching.
