I don't know what is causing this, but every week or two I have to go in and "turn off" my channels that are below 100. I have digital cable and all of the standard def digital channels are above 100. (as well as the HD channels) All of the standard def analog channels are below 100. At first I thought I just mis-pressed buttons, but this has happened a number of times.

Specifically, in the channel list, I "uncheck" channels below 100. I exit the channel list. I re-enter the channel list and the channels are re-checked. I then uncheck them. After 4-5 times it seems to stick... for a while. A few weeks later, when I search for a show, I notice that the search program is showing me channels below 100 again. I go into the channel list and see that the channels are all checked again. And the cycle repeats.

Anybody had similar experiences? Any fixes?

thanks,
Simon

Had to go remove all my channels I don't want listed again this morning. I had accidently unplugged the S3 and when it turned back on, my channels were screwed up. So, I assume that's what did it.

I didn't unplug, but it is possible I had a power outage.

Doesn't it seem silly that if the unit looses power it resets the channels? Wouldn't that be stored in non-volatile memory?
