How does my TV channel change when I didn't change it?

Every morning, I leave my TV on ETV channel, just to have some background noise so maybe my cat won't be so lonely.

Frequently, I come home and the TV is on the home shopping channel.

How is this happening? Let me add, the cat's not doing it, because sometimes it happens when I'm at home...for no reason that I can see.

1. The monsters that live under your bed obviously don't LIKE ETV.
They come out when you aren't there and watch something else.

3. Don't be so sure about the cat!
Has anything unusual arrived via UPS? Did you check the closet for an Emery Cat with the tag still on? :P

4. Is your remote control
I/R line of sight or does it operate on radio frequency?

5. Do you have a cable box hooked up?
If you do it's the cable company. I leave the TV on MSNBC during the day, it is on News 12 owned by Cablevision when I get home, they are screwing with us.
