Bullshit they could work on channel 4 too; the NES and the SNES both had a switch in the back for that, I assume the Genesis and TurboGrafx16 did too

Researching for essays was annoying because you had to actually leave your house and go to a library to get books. (But libraries are fun for personal reading.)

Let me just call someone if they're still at home on this payphone to look it up in the encyclopedia that was printed 20 years ago

Channel 3 or 4 I believe. They're set such that woukd allow you to choose if one or the other was selected for something like a vcr. This was the precursor to different inputs on tvs.

Can someone explain this to me pls?

I'm sure there were other consoles that did it, but the one I remember is the NES; it had a physical switch on it for channel 3 or 4, and you had to have your TV tuned to the respective channel to get the game to show up. As to why that was necessary on a technical level, I'm not sure. But it was a thing you had to do.
