    No need if you run ABM after it boots.
    It won't do any harm though, but for now, I wouldn't bother.

    Just get it up & running with your channels first.

    Looks like something wrong with your feeds or LNB so.
    Try swapping them around & see if the same happens.

    Personally id remove and refit the f-plugs, just to be 100 percent sure they are not at fault.

    so back at it this morning reinstalled VIX image went through setup until tuner setup and selected Auto scan and it never picked up any channels. I know for definite my feeds are working (i have 3 feeds 2 from static 28.2e & 1 from motorised dish) these all work when i connect them to my TM 800 hd, Spiderbox 9000 HD, TM 5400 ci+ and SKY hd boxes, so definitely think there is a fault with the tuner on TM 2T, going to send it back and get a replacement.

    Why are you using Auto scan when you know the sat you have access to?
    Set it up manually to 28.2, do as suggested above & report back if the issue still exists.

    If you're not going to follow the advice given, it's going to be impossible to help you.
    Sorry but I'm out as it's now getting frustrating.

    Maybe someone else will jump in & try to explain it again to you.
