DVR Spontaneously Records
My DVR has started recording show that where never put on the To do list. It just spontaneously records shows without anyone selecting the shows to be recorded. Can someone please tell me what is going on and how I can fix it. I've already tried to reset the receiver, but it's still doing the same thing. HELP?!

Possibly you set a keyword to autorecord? Possibly someone from one of your receivers is setting this stuff? If the DVR has a hitch in it's operator, a red button (inside card door) reset should resolve it.

There has no keyword set, and nobody else set the DVR (we also don't have Whole Home DVR) and I've already tried to reset it. The receiver also turns on by itself and changes channels without anyone doing anything.

Call DirecTV to request a replacement Receiver/DVR. It's free if you have their Equipment Protection Plan, or within 90-days of installation. Otherwise ~$20 for shipping. Or ~$50 to have a tech come replace it for you.

Are you in a single-family home or an apartment building?

(we also don't have Whole Home DVR)
Inasmuch as you posted your query in the Whole Home DVR forum I assumed (incorrectly) that you did. Given that info, are you in fact in a situation where you share Directv signals as Texasbrit asked?
