      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.

        Factory reset

        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.
