I hope you powered it down first, or at least before you re-inserted the cable from the lnb

| That is a fault that used to occur on some of the early Samsung receivers. The channel that you are watching is transmitting outside the DVB minimum requirements, and will cause the receivers firmware to 'cycle' whilst trying to process logic from the data stream. Which channel caused the loss ? and have you deleted it from the channel list ?
