Cable box rebooting

My cable box keeps rebooting on its own. Why is this happening????  I know when it's going to happen because it changes the channel randomly right before the box shuts down.

    Have you already check the power cord and coax cable to make sure all ends are secure?

        i wasn't aware of being able to change but 3-5 is good because i'm usually sleeping. several times when i've gotten up to let cats in/out i'll see the re-boot.
