Yes.

Master-Timer programs what you have configured in the "torecord"-file.

Not more, not less.

e.g.
You want to record the whole series "Andromeda".

[Andromeda]
Title = Andromeda
Prio = 60
Channel = !FTA


This will record everything which has a title which contains "andromeda"
(Case insensitive)

The timers will get a Prio of 60.
On my System the Macro "FTA" contains Free-To-Air channels. And this
means that i DON'T want it to be recorded on a Free-To-Air channels. (I
recorded it when it came on Premiere)

A "minimum"-timer would be like this

[Andromeda]
Title = Andromeda

You CAN record everything, when you want.

[Record everything]
Title = .

This would record just everything


At the top of "sample/torecord" is a description of the file-format.
