Just a couple of obsevations.
I lost NBN connection on Sunday just gone, no explanation why or for what reason, but all back up and running.
Obviously IceBox could not update schedules but no issue there.
Observation 1:
Scheduled recordings were completed as expected. But the Ad Skip was not implemented, so obviously that is not a built in feature of the internal software.
On viewing the "recordings" folder over local network each recording only had 1  file (mkv), not the usual 8 files after a recording and Ad Skip has completed.
Observation 2:
After watching recordings that were done whilst nbn down, when deleted there were no residual folders/files left as is usually the case.

The ComSkip module is standalone, and occasionally crashes. I very much doubt that the loss of internet connection caused the crash of ComSkip, but there may be a common cause for both. Usually rebooting corrects the ComSkip problem. One possibility is that TVHeadEnd crashed, which could result in ComSkip failing to run, but cannot see how it would cause the loss of internet connection.
