TV TAKE OVER

So.. am i the only one that loses control of their TV? if you get up to go do a couple dishes in the kitchen, or maybe start dinner or just try and have a piece of toast. If you don't hurry back to your seat, they'll turn your TV off. It's been going on here for about a month. Has anybody else experienced this? Never say they're not watching us because they are, and they're listening too. And if you don't get back and sit down, they'll turn your TV off sister, just know it. So is it Amazon or Xfinity (Comcast) or Verizon(Hotspot) controlling my watch schedule. Already checked settings. Need Techie TV advise..TIA
