No. Channels will stay but you can always upload your current channel list to be safe.

But you will lose your premium channels so no point.

hi m8,
as you have been told you only over write what software/patch you have
on the receiver. and you dont loose any chns or settings, unlike a factory
re-set,that clears all your settings. if you use the patch to open channels you will need to re-patch your receiver to open the chns again,
you dont say which model you have but if it has the usb port you can
do everything with a memory stick, for uploading your chn list put the stick
in the usb port on the receiver>turn on >press menu>go to usb>then data tranfer>press ok now you see the file list and at the bottom you see the
three buttons [red-green-yellow] you press red and the chn list will load
on your memory stick when compleate it will display on the panel>exit the
menu turn off>remove stick now you can transfer onto your computer
and keep a copy for future use
to get the full benifit from new official software updates the patch you
re-load must have the same number on it, patches are based on the
official software and if you load a earlier patch you revert back to that
software version
