Given the general lack of details, here are some<br>
useless places to waste your time looking at:<br>
<br>
(a) IR signals can go great distances (and since most<br>
IR devices respond to one of the basic RC signal<br>
types, maybe a neighbor just pushed your buttons).<br>
(b) There are ways to control Myth boxes both locally, and<br>
remotely via numerous input mechanisms over the<br>
network. Networked devices may be vulnerable<br>
to pranksters (or just random port probing). Your<br>
full capture network traffic logs would be a hint.<br>
(c) Cats are known to walk on keyboards (and if you<br>
don't have a cat, the mice and other rodents that<br>
you do have can be helpful too).<br>
(d) The noise from Vuvuzela's are annoying enough<br>
to redirect the universe, and your Myth box is<br>
not immune to the redirection.<br>
