Sometimes my channels just start changing on their own. Anyone else have this issue? I think my neighbors have Dish Network. Is it possible they are changing my channels?
 
Yes. Change the address on your remote. Instructions are in the manual or you can search this forum as it's been recently posted.
 
Yeah, many Dish remotes use UHF which can pass through walls. This is especially bad for Townhouses, Condos, or apts where people live very close together.
 
Happened to me too. I thought my receiver was haunted because I was sure my house was far enough from the neighbors. I changed the remote's channel/address and now it's perfect.:)
 
This reminds me of an old cartoon in a cable TV trade magazine. It pictured a cable TV repair man listening to an old man saying "Sorry to get you out her for nothin' son. Yesterday the TV kept changing channels by itself. Bout drove me crazy. Then Martha found the remote under my rocker."
