If it has a remote control, the following story may be of some help.
I used to get cable (back when I lived in town) and had a remove control
cable box. It would occasionally change channels on its own. Replacing
a defective flourescent light in the room cured the problem.
If you know where the remote sensor is, try covering it with something
for a while and see if it is still stopping.
