    Unable to change ABM Schedule scan repeat period

    Extrend ET10k, Vix 5.0.025

    I had ABM configured for
    Schedule scan = yes
    Time of scan to start = 22:00
    Repeat how often = Daily

    This worked perfectly in that ABM scanned for both UK Freeview (T2) and UK Freesat (S2) each evening at 10pm

    However, when I change "Repeat how often" to either weekly or 30 days and press green to save ABM still scans at 10pm every day.

    I can change "Time of scan to start" to 23:00 and press green to save and the time of the scan changes to 11pm but daily, irrespective of the repeat option being set to a different period.
    Xtrend ET10K, 2 x satellite tuners 28.2 (Sky FTA), 2 x hybrid (UK Freeview), Zgemma H9S (satellite)

    What are the ABM values in settings file? (located in etc/enigma2/)
    They start with this:
    Code:
    config.autobouquetsmaker.

    Do you put your receiver into deep standby?

    Yes, every night.

    Is this one of the problems where the box doesn't know the time/date when it starts up from deep standby?

    Probably. If it does not know when the last one was, it will run at the next time.

    It is an E2 timer held in the RAM so any time E2 is restarted the ABM clock is starting from scratch.
