What you are observing is teh EPG scan, which kicks in after 5 hours by
default. In 1.0.4 the scan actually tuned to channels, while 1.1.10
just tunes to the transponder, without setting the PIDs.

The last channel you viewed should be restored automatically once
you press any button on your remote control.
