sjp is correct. Tivo will always record from the best-available source. If you specifically want to record from terrestrial, you can always remove the Sky version from CIR. I would think that 'one-off' recordings will always record from the channel requested but I'm not absolutely certain

 

[cwaring]

Did you remove the Sky version of BBC1 from the "Channels I Receive" list?

 

[cwaring]

As said about it records the best version available for the selected callsign. TiVo doesn't record by channel number - it records by callsign.

Yes, but if there's only one (ie aerial) version of the channel, it has to use that verison, doesn't it?

 

[cwaring]

Yes, but if he un-ticks the SAT version of the channel, it can't pick it to record from over the AER version, can it?

Never mind. Firstly I'm now officially and secondly it's not really worth arguing about

 

[cwaring]

I don't think you can.

However, the reason for it is that on analogue you will receive BBC2 regional programming, if and when available, while Satellite (and Cable for that matter) only carries the 'national' version.

Just in case you didn't know

Because you get (for example) BBC1NTH whether you're watching digital OR standard terrestrial but you get BBC2NTH by terrestrial but only national BBC2 (BBC2D I assume) on digital
