Sudden strange stream turned on my apple tv

Hi everyone, has someone encountered with the problem that the apple tv is suddenly streaming something else like porn? I was watching a movie and it just suddenly started playing porn and my phone didn't have access to my TV. I am not sure it is because I have a strange neighbor or something else, and it has happened several times which really annoys me.

What is your model Apple TV? Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support

Check your AirPlay settings, see who is allowed to stream to your Apple TV. I would advise to restrict AirPlay use to devices on your own home network and/or home, and not allow nearby devices just because they are nearby. Also set an AirPlay password.

If your home network is compromised, then also change the security (WPA2-AES or better), and change the password, on your router.
