Have had the Mainslink Pro installed with the timer now out of action (communication cables were cut, so used the mainslink to RF the signal from boiler to airing cuboard, where all other equipment is stored (pump/tank ect.)

Hive chap is coming in 2 days and I wondered if the hive would work with mainslink pro. There is no timer unit for him to bypass / disconect

Did the previous timer do the CH and HW?
 
Yes, definitely. Use the Hive N/O contacts to switch 240v onto mains link pro transmitter unit. The reciever unit needs a permanent supply and can then produce a switched output for you boiler.
 
I beleive yes, the previous timer did have CH and HW. Both the Mainslink pro reciever and transmitter have perminant power on them, and are working the system right now, but I can't control it (only from thermostat)

CHE informed me that both HW and CH are working with the Mainlink pro at this time, but I am not sure, as, you say i think it is single channel, so can it be used with hive for both systems?

Mainslink pro says Bi-directional RF Switch, however, upon install, only one of the ports has wires installed, the other section for a wire is not used, as CHE said this was not required. Perhaps because that is for boiler pump overrun system, rather than signalling to and from boiler
