I just went through the guides to setup CrossEPG and then ABM (i had it installed, but reading the guide i was able to get more from it).
The guides are great, but after reading all the precious tips i am wondering about a little thing.
The EPG guide suggests to place the EPG files on the HDD instead than on the flash, and i'm perfectly fine with this.
Immediately after, since i placed EPG at 4:00 and ABM at 3:45 exactly like suggested (these times make a lot of sense) i started wondering why i can't move the ABM data to the hdd.
What should i do? Leave it as it is, run it weekly or monthly, or what else?
Thanks for any suggestion.

ABM does not need to be moved any where so best leave it where it is, as for the update schedule I always set mine to daily and leave it at that, this way it picks up every change sky make to the transponders without me having to touch it or very rarely if a change was made after the scheduled scan.

epg.dat is a data-file created by the box.
ABM doesn't do such a thing; it creates service lists. So there's nothing to move.
