Preview channel now gone.

I have the philips DirectTV/Tivo diguised as a Sony Sat-T60.
The hard drive was bad (bought unit used) and i put in a 80G drive, installed 25Xtreme and then the xupgrade (2.5.2) and all went well.

I put in my working P4 card from another receiver and got the preview channel (100). I started playing around with the add local channels code and also added #9 (los angeles) just to see it work. I know, my card wasn't setup yet with DTV so I wouldn't get anything.

Now the preview channel won't work and I just get the blank screen. Matter of fact, channel 100 isn't even on my guide anymore.
I turned off all hacks and still no luck.

Any ideas?
Do you think I just need DTV to zap the card from space??

Playing with the local channels is a sure way to foul up your guide.

Try a clear and delete guide data. If it doesn't work, then you may have to reimage.

I didn't do the clear and delete guide data but I did the one above it. I can't remember what its called now but it was like reset guide or reaquire or something like that. It took an hour to do and now everything comes in fine so that was the trick !!
thanks.
