someone else's remote intefering with mine?

[John H. <mis...@gm...>]

i use lirc with mythtv, but it seems during certain times of the day,
the remote freaks out, even when i am not using it, such as channel
turning, power going on and off, etc.

as soon as i stop lirc, it stops.

i wonder if someone living in apartment near me has a remote
interfering?  my remote is from a pctv pro, plugged in through serial
port.
