My reciever changes channels by itself even when the batteries are out of the remote. any idea what causes this? and how do i fix this problem?

My guess is that you have a neighbor near by that also has Shaw Direct. Your receiver is picking up the signals when he/she uses their remote.

To stop this change the remote address of your 505 to something other than the default 0. Also if you do not use the UHF feature remove the antenna on the back of the receiver.
The 505 has options of 0 - 7.

You should be able to find the instructions for your remote control on the following page:

Hope this helps solve the problem.

It could also be stray IR from other equipment like a TV. Check out the following thread on the topic:
