Quick Reference:
- The .abs file is only for firmware updates.
- Satellite/transponder/channel lists, configuration settings, etc. are not firmware files. These are database files.
- Default Database files (.ddf) contain the lists and configuration default settings that the receiver is reset to during a Factory Reset.
- User data files (.udf) can be erased during Factory reset back to the Default Database. The User Database can be set as the Default Database in the Channel Edit menu.
