Strange interference on the screen. Mostly it is green with something that looks like little men running about all over it and a round thing.

Turn your back on the remote for a moment and this happens!

My TV changes channel all by itself so often that I am reduced to watching the old one in the conservatory so I am always sweltering or freezing :-|

If I turn a channel over when he is asleep I get Oi I was watching that. Funny how he can see behind shut eyelids!

Vera, if yours changes channel "by itself" maybe the occupant of

the adjoining house is using a remote control that influences your TV ?

Mine used to do this,but no longer since my husband died 6 years ago
That was when I was up in my computer room concentrating on family history.
Don't do as much of this now!

There are far too many cooking episodes on my TV. Gets to my goat! :-\

David, perhaps I should have said "when I'm not looking" rather than "by itself". The culprit is definitely OH, also known as Mr I'm In Charge :-D
