BUG: Auto Timer doesn't seem to remember when a recording cancelled (iQ 24/04/2012)
I've put this as a BUG, because in all honesty, it doesn't seem to be logical! Basically, I had an Auto Timer set for Puss in Boots, which obviously then added a regular timer when it found a match. Now, I noticed that the regular timer it had set would have stopped me from recording something else, so I deleted the Regular timer thinking that this would be it. When I came back to the box later, I was horrified to see that it had added the same regular timer back in.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but should it not remember that I deleted a timer for that slot already? Does it mean that I'm forced to also disable the Auto Timer to stop it from re-enabling regular timers that it has created and I've deleted?
This is really cr*p behaviour! Something that Windows seem to have implemented really well with their "Record Series" functionality.
