I had this exact same problem a couple of months ago, having been away for 3 weeks, with the box unplugged. Came home, plugged back in, turned on, etc, and could only get the basic channels.

Phoned CS, they got me to reboot, remove and replace the card, etc, (all of which I had already tried).

They looked at my account, couldn't see a problem, so they sent an update to the box, told me to turn it off and leave it for 1/2 hour or so, then turn it on.

I did that, and initially some of the channels were back, but still missing loads, so I left it another 1/2 hour and rebooted again, then they were all ok.

Not sure what it was, but sending the update (or 'hit' as its known) seemed to fix it.
