Grandkids Watched Sponge Bob all weekend and now my TV keeps changing back to it every five minutes while I watch history channel

Help. How do I clear this issue with Sponge Bob coming on every five minutes while watching different channels.

Puzzling. DVR/Receiver model number? Try resetting using the red reset button near the access card.

Double play doesn't automatically switch channels you have to press the down button twice to start it and to toggle between the 2 channels.

yeah, I know, BUT!!! if someone accidentally started it (by hitting the down button) then it is quite likely they could hit it AGAIN and switch.

No offense to the OP, but I've done it a number of times, and have had DTV since the late 1990's.
