Youtube playing on Smart TV from ipad?

Hi all,


I'm not sure if this is in the right forum so have posted in Phones & TV Forum as well.


We have recently bought a new Smart TV and last night, whilst watching something on the Sky Planner, the TV suddenly changed to the Youtube channel and started playing a children's cartoon. I realised that it was the same one that my autistic daughter was watching on her ipad in her bedroom (just next door to the lounge). The only way I could get Youtube off of the TV was to turn it off and turn it back on again.


Today, exactly the same thing happened with my elder daughter's TV, it suddenly switched to Youtube to what my younger daughter was watching in another room.


I've only briefly googled this but all I have read points to this facility having to be set up?? My youngest daughter definitely hasn't done this and nor has anyone else. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I have to do to stop it?


TIA :-)

    Well obviously unplugging the TV's from the network would stop it!
