2 days ago my TV started spuriously changing inputs to Blue ray CD.
We recently had some close lighting strikes and the solar activity.
I rebooted every thing (TV, dish, blue ray and remotes) to no avail.
Unplugging the Blue ray HDMI fixed the problem.

It appears that the HDMI was spuriously generating a "connect gee you want to use me" signal.

The HDMI cable is approx 18" long and not far from a window.

IMHO either the Blue ray is defective or the HDMI cable is actually acting as an antenna for magnetic or UHF solar activity. Is my imagination over active??

Once the SUN settles down I will reconnect and let ya know.

I pride myself in diagnostic skills and NOT knowing everything. I do know how to ask the right questions of those who should know the answers. I can do this politely.
