Have you tried removing and re-installing ABM Plugin? My ABM Region shows 4 different Winter Hill options: Winter Hill, also WH Lancashire, WH Liverpool, WH Manchester. If that does not work, perhaps next ABM update will reflect Freeview changes? Also in the Tuner Configuration, Terrestrial DVB-T2 Tuner Settings there are Region options for Winter Hill & for All Regions, UK.

just noticed after usingdvb-t frequency finder to get channels which are ok when it scanned it said 35 radio channels as well but there no were to be found if you press tv button radio comes up but just blank
 
I'm near you and cannot scan freeview today.
Also noticed yesterday that radio channels are in a bouquet of their own, whereas before they appeared when I pressed radio button on the remote, for past few days this has been empty
 
ye pabblo i got my channels back by using thedvb-t frequency finder then doing the abm scan with that but the channels are back but the bouquet for radio channels has dissappeared

I've got channels by doing automatic scan but ABM still not working for freeview
As mentioned before, radio are now in their own section/bouquet or in last scanned bouquet
 
Have you tried the DVB-T frequency finder option in ABM? You'll need to enable it in configure for it to show
Didn't even know it existed but I've enabled it and it's doing its thing now

EDIT
after the scan completed it displayed a message "a new provider 'free view terrestrial Northwest' has been created, disable your existing provider and use this in a new ABM scan"

All working normally now (y)

For Freeview, ABM obtains data from the frequency that has BBC One SD. If this has changed, unless people provide details and any other override data, ABM will stay as it is for those areas.

Frequency finder will get most of the details, but these need to be added to ABM. Most people don't bother to upload details.

Best to use Terrestrial scan plugin and forget using ABM for Terrestrial.
 
what aabout radio channels pablo have you got them as well if so how as thats what i said i did before to you and i get the tv channels but no radio
