On the Subject of TV

Gaze ever deeper into the static...

Operating the TV

Use the volume button to increase the volume of the TV.

Use the power button to turn the TV on or off.

Use the brightness and contrast buttons to input an answer.

Use the channel switch to switch between channels 3 and 4.

Channel 3 contains static, and channel 4 contains programming.

Reading the Static

Look past the TV while it is displaying static and allow your eyes to refocus. You should see a 3D image.

There is an arrow pointing in one of four directions. If it is spinning, it is pointing in the direction where the tip of the arrow is rotating towards you.

Behind the arrow is a spinning square.

An Alternate Method

The higher the volume on the TV, the more artifacts will appear at the edge of the picture, either bright or dark.

The only edge with two identical consecutive artifacts is in the direction pointed to by the arrow. They are dark if and only if the square is spinning counterclockwise.

Submitting an Answer

Submit the direction the arrow is pointing. However, if the square is spinning counter-clockwise, submit the opposite direction instead.

To submit left or right, press brightness. To submit up or down, press contrast.

To submit up or left, press on an even second. To submit right or down, press on an odd second.
