What exactly happens is this: I try to change the channel with one click
- nothing happens - I click again and it goes to the
next-channel-but-one.  It seems to "store" the first click and then
release both of them after the second click.  It can store more than two
clicks, too.

Mine doesn't suffer from that problem.  So this TV thing is a separate
bug?
