Which version of Sky UK do you use for ABM scan? And why?
I use the standard sky uk SD (tyne region) and the freesat uk SD (north east and Cumbria north region).
It does every thing I need and i'm not that bothered about hiding services such as the HD channels etc.

No point having channels in line up you cannot view. so voted for 2 Also less likely to schedule recording on wrong channel.

I only had my sky card in my E2 box for just over a year, I have operated a sky uk receiver plus multiple third party receivers in tandem over the past 20 years fully FTA and have no problems remembering what channels I can and can't receive on them so never once set a recording on a channel I was not able to receive.

Voted for Sky UK SD for same reason as @Abu Baniaz mentioned in post #3

I use & prefer the Sky UK SD provider, much neater as it gets rid of the unwanted HD channels.
Vu+ Ultimo 4K with 3TB HDD, Dual FBC (Sat) tuners, 1x Twin Hybrid DVB-C/T/T2 tuner
Vu+ Solo 4K with 1TB HDD, Dual FBC (Sat) tuners, 1x Hybrid DVB-C/T/T2 tuner
Vu+ Solo 2 with 1TB HDD 'White Edition', 2x DVB-S2 tuners
Mut@nt HD2400 with 1TB HDD, 4x DVB-S2 tuners
Fixed 28.2E Technomate 65cm Mesh Satellite Dish with Inverto Unicable II/JESS LNB and Inverto Unicable Splitter
Fixed 28.2E Sky Zone 1 45cm Satellite Dish with Octo LNB
(All receivers installed with the latest Dev build)
Voted no.2, Sky Uk (SD). Also using custom made favourites to suit my main viewing at no's 1-100.
Then Sky UK (SD) as next provider, as with Abu, see no point in having SKY listed channels that can't currently work on an E2 box.
Still playing with other options, the enabling of custom XML files & recent non indexed channels opens up loads of options for all users.

My vote goes for No 2, Sky UK (SD)
There don't seem any point in having unavailable HD Channels in Favourites Bouquet & saves my family asking why don't the HD Movie Channels work

This is a poll. To cast your vote, view thread via web browser or PC/laptop.
it does seem like you are having a go at Abu when the purpose of the poll was to ask the reasons why you voted for a particular option, plus although you may have a perfect recollection of channels you can record does everyone in your household have the same level of awareness?

Pheonix, I don't really understand this. Why use Sky at all as the provider for your ABM scan if you don't have a card in the box? Why not just use Freesat. Are you doing this so your channel numbers are consistent on all receivers throughout the house? Or another reason?
