DVR changing channel when recording just one program

My DVR (an R16-300) has recently started changing channels when recording only one program.  It only seems to do this either while the TV is off OR while I'm watching a previously DVRd program from my list, but not while I'm watching live TV.  For example, a few nights ago I was watching a DVRd show.  I knew watching it was going to run past 11pm and I wanted to be able to watch the local news & weather afterward so had the receiver tuned to our local channel so I could just rewind when I finished.  At 10pm my receiver changed channels even though there was only the one program recording.  I noticed this when I exited out of the program I was watching and found I was on the channel being recorded instead of the channel I had left it on.  I switched back to the original channel without any issue, but when I went back to watching my previously DVRd show, my receiver again changed the channel.  It also changed channels to record a half hour program at 1:30am this morning, even though there was no conflict.  Therefore, it wasn't on my local news station this morning when I was hoping to catch the weather when I got up.  It's only started doing this within the past month or two.  Rebooting has not had any effect.  Any ideas?
