My Gigablue Quad is set to wake up in the small hours, download fresh EPG data & switch itself off again.
Is there a way I can achieve the same thing for running an automatic re-scan of channels? Even once a week might be handy to catch the various frequency changes etc.
Cheers,
Steve

ABM can be scheduled to run regularly.
I don't think that's what he means abu, I think he wants a way to run the Tuner scan from a timer and I don't think that is possible

You are correct! :-). Either using cron or some such mechanism.
Schedule a re-tune either each day at 4 in the morning or something (and then run ABM afterwards) to catch any channels that change frequency / move about.... Before my other half TELLS me that CBeebies "isn't working" etc. ;-)

ABM will keep the channels (in the poviders it does) up to date.

Really? Even if say a channel changes it's frequency? I thought a re-tune would be needed....

ABM reads the chanenl data off the satellite, so it will keep your channel details up to date.

Brilliant, sounds like that's what I need!

That's what ABM is for. There is no need to run a scan prior to using ABM it dies all the work it self and in a fraction of the time a regular scan would take.
