Tuning adapter with a timer

I finally got tired of my Cisco TAs crashing at inopportune times so I bought a couple of timers. They are set up now, but one problem. When the TA is rebooted you are left with the screen "Tuning Adapter Connected". Will the TiVo still function, that is record sceduled programs? If not my solution is a non-starter as I usually have recordings early in the AM before I get up.
