Dish thinks they can predict what channel you want based on the time of day. Example, if every Monday at 3pm you tuned to channel 135, then after a couple weeks it's going to think (rightly or wrongly) that based on this pattern, today is Monday, it is now 3pm, you probably want channel 135.

That is only supposed to work when you first turn the receiver on. Yesterday in the middle of watching a hockey game and it just switches to another channel.
