The penny has just dropped here - did you install nowster's settop path and have you updated it? If you have the old version the time will have been set incorrectly and the S10sysclock script will never set the HouseKeeper FirstBoot and other flags which would trigger the reapplication of changes.
I rather not post a link to the nowseter update here (look in AV forums for posts by Nowseter since the time change)
I did indeed install that package, and when the time patch was upgraded I didn't install the old version, I just installed the new one over top. Perhaps I should uninstall and start again...???
I have removed the settop-patch and reset the channels.
I will leave it like that overnight and see what happens. If all is ok, I will re-install the patch tomorrow, and then test again.
Please can you post the results from a telnet session in the morning with the commands:
cd /opt/etc
ls -a
I have attached a screen shot of the telnet session..and the channels are back ! So that didn't work.
Here is what it says when I look at settings. Something not right..
You are using :-
- Custom Firmware : v 4.1.1
- Web Interface : v 2.74
Last housekeeping boot : Sat Mar 30 03:00:22 GMT 2013
also if I look into the HDR folders Media/opt/channels there are two fcl files there one dated yesterday called backup and one dated 2000 called update..Any help ?
hdr.jpg (83.5 KB, 2 downloads) 11 years old skoppyjoe - telnet again - can you try this and post results. Also look in the webif channel editor to see if all is OK.

Foxsat-HDR~# touch /opt/etc/FirstBoot
Foxsat-HDR~# ./opt/etc/init.d/S70channels.sh

Also can you do a ls -l /opt/etc/init.d/S10sysclock
Hopefully this will give a clue to why the S10sysclock script does not appear to be working.
Edit: Afterthought can you also post the response to
ls -l /media/Channels/*
(I would like to see the timestamps.)
I need to pop out for a short time,,be back later
The clue is in the difference to your response to the date command. Your Foxsat is in the wrong TimeZone. This means that S10sysclock will never think it is the housekeeping run because is not the expected time (which must be exact).
I think you may have applied one of the two quick fixes for nowster's patch and his updated solution. I seem to remember one of them modified the TimeZone. Will look back in the main thread and post again.
BTW the ls command switch should have been a lowercase -L and not a numeric -1. No matter we have the necessary info now.
EDIT: Please review the temp fixes mention in the AVF main thread from post #118 to #136 and undo any you applied. Check especially /opt/etc/init.d/S99settop.sh
it should read:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -x /opt/bin/settop-new ] ; then
TZ=GMT+0 /opt/bin/settop-new
reboot
fi
