I'm new here, and am looking for some help!
I have a DVR 622 set in dual mode. The second tv is about 20 feet away in the kitchen. I have recently started experiencing problems while watching the second tv. The channel will automatically flip back to MSNBC. Or CNN. My main tv that is hooked up directly never does this. I can switch back to the channel I am watching, and it immediately switches back.
In addition to this, the DVR is constantly recording programs that I have not set to record. There appears to be no rhyme or reason as to why it is recording these programs. I have to go in daily and clear the schedule of programs that are going to be recorded, or delete those that have already been recorded.
Some things I have tried:
I recently installed a new wireless network in my home, or changed brands of routers. Went from Netgear to Apple. I thought I may have triggered a frequency that was causing the interruption. I can't be positive that the change coincided with the problems, but I was trying anything. I unplugged the router for an evening, and the same issues were happening.
Shut down the Dish receiver and hoped for a reset. No help.
Last night installed the recently received smart card. No help.
I live in a condo building with 12 units. Could it be possible I am receiving signals from a neighbor?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

Thanks to all. I live alone, so I'm pretty sure no one else is in the other room changing channels on me! 
So far, everything still looks good. I left the second tv on all day and it is still on the same channel! The test will be this evening when everyone is home. I'm guessing that this fixed the issue. And I'm also guessing that I fixed a frustrating situation for one of my neighbors also!
Thanks again. I'll let you now if this fixed it. So far, so good.

now that you know the neighbor's UHF address, you can always look up the "reinitialize DVR" feature and use it on them if they ever make you mad.
It probably was your neighbor, same thing happened to me except i knew my neighbor just got dish network. When my channel started changing, i called him and said "did you just change your tv to channel 6 and he said yes. I told him to change to channel 12 and sure enough i could see on my screen him inputing the #, and then my channel changing. I changed the remote code for my box and everything was fixed. I live in a house so those remotes are pretty powerful!!Thanks to all. I live alone, so I'm pretty sure no one else is in the other room changing channels on me!

Thanks to everyone! Changing the remote address fixed the problem. I'm sure he (or she) is just as glad that the probelm is fixed. I was contantly going into their DVR menu and deleting programs that they had scheduled to tape. At least they could have taped a PPV or adult feature once in a while, instead of Will and Grace! 
Thanks again, and I appreciate the quick response. Hope I can return the favor sometime.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Pissed off at the crappy healthcare costs
My health Insurance renewal for 2027 just came in. Going from $827 a month to $1,187 a month. Deductible going up a $1k to $9,350. Max out of pocket also going up $1k to $11,000. Doctor co-pay of $40. Urgent Care co-pay $50. ER 50% coinsurance after deductible. That's all in network. Out of network is double, should it be needed.
Have to think about this. I'm really tempted to just go without now. I only go to the doctor once or twice a year. I pay out of pocket for Tirzepitide and can do without the Rosuvastatin (crestor) now. Really tired of spending over $10k a year and getting nothing out of it.
After years with Blue Cross I switched last year to Ambetter as my Blue Cross premium was going from $1200 to $1800 for a Silver plan and the Bronze plan was still going to be $1300 at BCBS. Ambetter was $827 for the same coverage with a Bronze plan. Didn't think it would jump this much so soon.
I'm guessing a Silver plan is probably over $2,000 a month for 2027.

I figured some of the guys would be looking here for an answer. You'll need to use this link
I'll mention what happened over there. I don't want to cause Scott any issues or put him in a bad spot.

EchoStar fixes some of its mess, but there's much more to mop up
EchoStar's satellite TV and Sling TV services have exited Chapter 11, but clouds still hover above Dish Wireless, which faces a multitude of lawsuits.

News about the tower's dispute-
Towercos now own Dish's 5G radios – and SpaceX might be a buyer
Tower companies now own Dish's deserted 5G gear, says American Tower CEO Steven Vondran. This could feed into SpaceX's mobile ambitions, analysts say.

So does this mean the churches and businesses that Dish owes back payments to are going to get paid now?
