    Default TV, Cable, DVD and Garage Remote have stopped responding

    all at the same time. i assume this is some sort of interference (RF? infrared?)--is there any type of instrument that can detect a source?

    no new electronics in the house. have checked the TV/Cable/DVD remotes with the cell phone camera and they're all lighting up.

    Beat me to it!

    I was thinking maybe a neighbor put up a HAM radio antenna or something, but I don't think that is the same frequency. Might be something to look into.
