Default "Other" channels keep disappearing

Does anyone know why my "other" channels keep disappearing after being stored. Sometimes they stay for a couple of weeks and other times for only a day or two.
Went to them this morning and they'd all gone again.
This has happened for about the last couple of years, does anyone know why this might be happening?

Thanks

Unplug your sky box off and on. If not then unplug it and insert a card ( either old one or new one ). The blue and yellow house one will work and so will the white one. That should do it.

Thats an old problem - I havent seen it reported for a long time though. Best answer we ever got was there is/was a bug in the receiver memory

It always seemed worse if you had a lot of other channels stored & also used the red button a lot.
