Scan before ABM scan?

[shadowman007]

Hi, kinda a noob question but need to be 100% sure I have just flashed my Vu+Duo 2 receiver with the OpenViX Helios. 008 image. I wanted to know do I have to do a scan by going to Setup/Service searching/Automatic scan or can I skip this and just do a scan with ABM (AutoBouquetsMaker). Because I have read somewhere that ABM or Autobouquets E2 by Lraizer needs the latest lamedb file so need to do a service scan?

Depends on your needs, sats available and so on...
If only 28.2E (or others included in ABM), an ABM scan is just fine & saves a lot of time.

Hi, thanks for the reply yes this is just for 28.2E

Then you have no need to do any thing other than to setup and run ABM, it will do every thing you need.
