Yeah, the loading times made it confusing the first time since I thought the graphics just flipped out, so maybe it was a big map for loading first? Low settings work best
Also, for the TV, all you have to do is change a channel on the TV with the remote control, then wait for a spiral to fill the screen. Next thing you know, there's a small room with another TV inside! Flip some dials here and there, and you find the next gadget. I forgot what that unlocked though. Maybe the headset? (personal favorite BTW).
