If your channels are changing by themselves, the remote of a neighbour, or someone else close by, may be using the same address (frequency) as yours. Because some remotes use radio signals that can change channels even if you don't point them directly at the receiver (and even through walls), your neighbours may essentially be changing channels on your receiver with their own remotes. To correct the issue, change your remote's address.
