Did the EPG update kill off my in progress recording?

That's fine. I will make a mental note and do a workaround until it's fixed. It's a rare occasion anyway that recordings are active at that time.

Will I be OK if i have NO DVB/ATSC EPG updates?

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking here. If you have no channels using the 'DVB/ATSC EPG' source (ie, like you're using xmltv instead), then no tuners will be used during the EPG update.

I was asking if removing all DVB/ATSC EPG updates from the setup would remove the risk of interruption.

From your answer, I guess it's the actual DVB EPG update through the tuners that interrupts the recording by taking over the tuner in some way I assume (even if three other tuners were free in my case). So that would be a Yes to my own question.

As I do not need the DVB/ATSC EPG info anyway, it's an easy fix here. I will try to set up a recording for tomorrow morning spanning over 7:00 and see if it survives.

As one who complained about and hopefully helped troubleshoot previous issues with XML/SchedulesDirect (i.e. non-tuner based) EPG updates interacting with recordings-in-progress, I can say all known issues with that were fixed a long time ago.

Yes - I can confirm that. The recording survived
