Yes I find it hard sometimes to get changes to come though, so to speak.
After you've updated your satellite XML, ABM provider file(s) and rescanned ABM try switching back and forth between different bouquets and/or rebooting the box.
In cases where the provider files have been updated (which I don't think is today) deleting the file /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/providers/providers.cache before doing the ABM scan can help.

ABM reads the SI tables on the Freesat or SKY main transponders (for 28.2E) and builds its bouquet lists from there. The ITV2/3/4/Be and CITV transponder changes are already active on the Freesat ABM bouquet (although the EPG is not populated as of when I last looked about 4 hours ago). I suspect you have to wait for the sat providers to finalise their SI tables and EPG data. xml changes only needed if you are manually scanning transponders.

No fiddling required, really. Just run ABM and it takes care of it. The SKY transponders for ITV2/3/4 have now been changed in the SI table and the transponder frequencies match those in Freesat. The EPG for ITV3 and 4 is complete now. ITV2 is not quite there yet. See screenshot.
By the way, Brian - is ITV2/3/4 on the primary bouquet for SKY (from say 116 onwards)? I can only see them on the secondary bouquet at position 816, 817 etc. I don't normally use the SKY bouquet as I prefer the ordering used in Freesat.

all working again I deleted all bouquets in ABM then used xml update clicked on when it said restart then did a full restart then re scanned using ABM, all channels working now thanks again
Thanks @dsayers. I thought that they should be there all right. I'm assuming SKY will get around to updating the tables soon and then ABM will pick up the changes automatically.

Not for me.
I only use the primary bouquets for Sky and Freeview.
If I am in the Sky bouquet, where I am 99% of the time, and run ABM the Sky Bouquet isn't fixed (or maybe fixed completely?) until I switch to Freeview and back to Sky.
I have a feeling even rebooting doesn't do it until I switch to Freeview and back to Sky, but maybe I'm wrong?
ABM does not use satellites.xml or even terrestrial.xml. The ABM xml file does not hold any channel tuning data, just the home frequency. Updates to it are generally swap and boundary changes. The advice people give about updating provider files isn't applicable most of time.
Enigma2 caches bouquets, so you have to select a different bouquet if you want to see updated ABM bouquets or restart/reboot. I usually jump to orbital mode and then back to bouquets.
Also, the reason we ask for debug logs is to save the questions as to which options are being used.

Press up ( next to OK), green (satellites/extended). Or restart E2. As an aside, from here you can press menu, delete satellite, then restart. I do this from time to time to delete the dead channels in lamedb.
I don't know why ABM doesn't make Enigma2 reload the bouquets in RAM.
Drat I forgot to redo one of my autotimers. Got a couple of zero length recordings from ITV2
