I'm not sure if this is a problem with my Sky box or with the TV. I recently bought a Samsung smart TV, and I use it with a Sky+ HD 2TB box as we don't have an aerial. One of the features of the TV is that you can add external devices using a wizard on the TV which allows you to be able to use the TV's remote control with the Sky box. This can be useful, although we mostly just use the Sky remote as usual.
The problem that is happening is when we watch another input, such as Netflix or iPlayer. Whilst watching these the Sky box intermittently, and unexpectedly, switches itself on. This has the effect of switching the TV over to the Sky input (HDMI1) and we the programme we are watching is interrupted. At least with Netflix, when we go back to the programme we were watching it starts from where we left off, but on iPlayer it goes back to the start. It's very annoying anyway, and I'm not sure if it's because the TV's remote is programmed to use the Sky box, but no buttons were pressed on either remote to make this happen. I've now had to switch off the Sky box at the wall to stop this happening.
Anybody got any ideas? Thanks.
