Odd question about satellite tv

Question

Sometimes the channel changes on our bedroom tv without us pressing any buttons, we will be watching and be nowhere near the remote and it just changes...this doesnt happen in the living room, just the bedroom. could it be interference from a neighbor or some other problem?

Answer 1

If you're using a DVR (either shared with your TVs, or a dedicated one for your bedroom), then the channel will change as it needs to record programs for you.

If you have a dual-tuner DVR, the DVR prioritizes "tuner2" for recording.  If you are sharing the DVR between your living room and the bedroom, the bedroom is using "tuner2".

Answer 2

Or to add to the above answer... if you have a reciever like my directv, it can be set to "autotune" by going forward in the guide and selecting shows you want to see, then it will automatically go to that channel when it starts.

I doubt if any remote from your neighbor is changing it - there has to be a line of sight for the ir and the same remote/tv code.
