Do you remember analog TVs? Switching channels was a sub second affair.

It was sub frame. You would literally see the set re-sync to the new timing (since each station's vblank would not necessarily be happening at the same time).

I remember our first digital TV crashing and needing to reboot it.

"Wow"! we said. This is the future. Having to reboot the TV.
