Unhappy Weird lost channels!!!

I was just watching "Something about Miriam" on Sky 1. It finished and I got a phone call, which I took whilst out of the room. Came back in and the TV had changed channels to 879, some radio station. So I put it on BBC1 or something. Then, while looking round the channel listing, I seem to have lost a load of channels including, sky 1, Sky Movies1, Sky Movies 2 etc. I have some of the other movie channels. Anyone got any ideas what's happened?
I rebooted and they came back, so there's no long term problem, but it's a bit weird for about 10 channels to just disappear, surely?

Re: Weird lost channels!!!

No issues reported at DMC. No affected boxes there. Try a reboot.

The channels were lost from EPG and they couldn't be chosen either. I rebooted before posting and they came back. I just wondered if anyone had any idea why it happened.
