Channel changes without warning

[keith_leitch]

I seem to have commands being issued when I don't want them to. This shows in 1) video playback, when the timeline and PVR controls appear briefly on the screen, and 2) playing live or timeshifted TV, when the channel changes up or down without warning.

1) is never a big deal, and 2) is a minor annoyance with local television. However, because I am using my own procedures to stream live TV from overseas, some of these channels take a long time to load, so 2) becomes rather serious.

I have considered whether this might be the remote or the driver, but I don't think so. I was using the Microsoft driver and, due to conflicts with other devices, switched to the MCE replacement driver. I also replaced my original remote and receiver with a new set. The symptom didn't change in either case. I also took the batteries out of the remote one night, with no luck.

Has anyone ever encountered this problem before?

If you unplug your remote receiver does the problem still occur?

Do you have a wireless keyboard/mouse?

I do have a wireless keyboard and mouse set, but I have unplugged their receiver without success. I guess I haven't tried unplugging the remote receiver; didn't think it was necessary after changing units. It's worth a try, though.

Yeah - that'd be my next step.
