A factory reset will put the box back to a state as if it's just been flashed.

If the image didn't come with any keys or roms, then you will loose these.

You will also loose you services and bouquets.

I have managed to stuff my services file in ect/services. There is a service file in there but it is full of transponders instead of port numbers.
It must of happened whilst using DCC.
The result is that i can not FTP anything across or connect any FTP program's.

If i do a factory reset will this reset all these config files so i can atleast use DCC.
I know i'll lose all my sat's/bouquets etc, but i have all that backed up.
