    If you lost only a few channels you need a fresh channel scan and that is it.
    Switch to a working channel, go to manual scan, enable network search and BAT and start the scan.

    You killed your box without any reason. VM moved a few channels around and that was the whole problem. Now you have to find a working image first. I guess you flashed the rom files instead of a dreambox image.

    It depends which new image you got. At some images you have to enable the emu. Some others don't include the latest rom files and you have to upload the rom files via ftp to the folder var/keys at the box.

    Unplug and replug and do a channel scan after you flashed your box via nullmodem cable.
