HR22 receiver turns on by itself

[Jimbo]

Since I posted the "problem" I'll followup with what I think was causing the receiver to come on at random times.
One of the front buttoms (Menu) was partly depressed. I wasn't obvious but when I looked carefully you could tell it wasn't fully out.
Now for the interesting part..... I think it was the wife's roomba that initially caused the problem. The receiver is on a bottom shelf that sits very close to the carpet. If I don't push the receiver back flush with the shelf the roomba tries to match with it during it's room cleaning chores. I've noticed it will routinely bump the receiver several times as it cleans the room. I thinking this is what pushed the botton
Any case I got the buttom fully out and no randoms behavior for several days.

Thats if, blame the vacuum !

My R22-100 came on by itself today. I was in the bedroom and heard the program (since its connected to the sound system). The RC64R remote was on the table. I had been napping so had not touched anything and it wasn't performing a scheduled recording.

I live in an apartment. Could someone else's remote have turned on my receiver? This has happened a couple of other times as well. Weird.

It's certainly possible. Do any of your neighbors have Directv? Is your remote set for rf? It would pretty much have to be for that to happen.

My remote is set to IR. If my neighbors have tv, then it's D* because we were all forced into it by the management company. I'm in a steel reinforced concrete high rise. The walks between my apartment and the neighbor are concrete, as well as the floors & ceilings. I have no idea if that makes a difference.

I love D* but the middleman company I'm forced to deal with is the worst company I have EVER had to associate with.

Ah well, not too worried about the receiver unless it starts happening a lot.

Do the channels change by themselves? How about the guide, does it pop up by itself?

Not so far. Just comes on.

I would suspect a random IR interference signal turning it on.
