Freeview box changes channel

My freeview box changes channel from BBC1 to channel 5 at around the same time every night. It's just changed channel now from BBC1 to ITV1. Could this be my next door neighbour changing channel on his set, I think his tv is on the same wall?

If that is the only time it changes I would doubt it.
The TV in our caravan will change stations randomly if a particular 12v fluorescent light is on and an outside security light will come on at home if a particular fluorescent light is put on in the house.I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.0 -
There could be many reasons for this mainly a hardware fault, If it is annoying you a lot then I'd probably just buy a new box! The price of them has plummeted lately so they don't cost too much! It won't be your neighbour changing the channel since IR can't travel through walls.0

another reason this happens on some sets is that the batteries in the remote are low, dont ask me why , but have had this beforeCopy from one, it’s plagiarism; copy from two, it’s research.0
