So the TV is supposed to play something?? I am so confused on this puzzle too!

did you plug it in?

The whole point of the game is to figure things out. Even those of us who got both endings had plenty of time where we thought "I've tried literally everything and can't figure it out" and did the same things over and over again until something clicked. Just keep at it.

@Number1SOn - at the very most, give a hint rather than a full-on spoiler.

Honestly, while I do like figuring things out myself, there is a point where it just frustrates me, instead of making me engaged and that whole damn TV puzzle was it. I just completely missed the cord on the ground and kept going around in the rooms for like 20 minutes...

I did the same. Didn't see the cord for a long time, didn't see the light switch, kept opening the doors rather than closing them etc..

I think a hint system may be worth considering. When people post in this forum, I'll reply with a hint that hopefully leads them in the right direction so they can still accomplish things. I don't think it's the best idea when someone posts an answer right away because it potentially robs the player of that experience and potentially spoils it for others.
And even for those who do want the answer outright, they have to wait however long for someone here to give it to them. Later on, there will ofc be guides and people can quickly search answers for the level they're playing.

Still, I think it best to figure things out. I know some people may feel different because they get frustrated or feel impatient or whatever, but I mean it's the purpose of the game. Maybe you get frustrated or bored and turn it off, and the next time you play you figure it out right away and have that "I can't believe I missed that!" relief.

The puzzles in this game really aren't hard and just require a little actual paying attention. The fridge even spells the word cable. Please don't dumb the game down, devs.

Maybe it wouldn't seem like a bigger issue than it is if you would just answer the op question...

Nice! That's one way to spoil it for yourself but glad you got past it I was pretty stumped on it for a while too.

BUT! If you listen for a few loops you'll eventually notice the time being repeated in the audio coming from the TV.

I tried entering all the times in the TV Guide channel first, then the actual time (12:30ish), then the time on the Thermostat (4:30) then finally I listened in silence and heard the correct time to enter on the happy face clock from the disjointed audio coming from the TV.

Just another reason I like Backrooms games puzzle design.

Please don't give any hints, it's important that the gamer find this on their own. It is important to immerse yourself into the game and not be distracted about what is going on in the real world.
