Since the digital switch, what was once "channel 11" is now split up into 11-1, 11-2, etc. Some stations have 2-3 (or even more) channels. The first is the "main" one, while the subsequent ones could cover the SD/non-widescreen broadcast, a 24-hour weather channel, or other programs.
The problem is that drewprops' TV is designed to accept 100+ subchannels when that is almost never necessary. On most TVs, all you have to do is hit 11-1, but on his you have to hit 11-001.
An easy way around this is to go into the TV tuner settings and block all the channels you don't want, so you can just cycle using the channel up and down buttons and skip things like SD versions. Of course, that still isn't a good solution for him since his TV takes so long to change channels.
