This may help in avoiding the rebooting issue, not my work, taken from another forum. I also had the same problems as you but started deleting and re-arranging manually until I found this.
"Has anyone noticed that some S*y Sports channels make the box reboot then get stuck in a rebooting loop if you try to change channel or access the menu?
Today is the first time I have really played with the box and it drove me nuts, you simply have to unplug your sat feed and you can access the menu and change channel. Very strange.
Here is a dump I took today (using NM_HDS2_CMT_1007120293.abs) with the offending channels removed, 7 groups of favourites but you will probably have to rename them from fav 1, fav 2 etc. For some reason it doesn't save that.
Favorites are:
Entertainment
Movies
HD Channels
Factual
Kids
Music
Sports
Not perfect but it's a start.
This is 28.2e Only."
The dump is attached.

yea pretty reliable, the tuner is spot on it goes into a reboot loop on certain sky sports channels but once removed from your channel list it's ok and sometimes it reboots if you press lots of buttons on the remote in quick sucession, other than that it's fine as a basic box
