I'll keep these suggestions in mind. But the reason he doesn't find the channel creepy before is, like I said in the story, he chalks it up to the "magic of technology". As long as the TV isn't straight-up talking to him, he doesn't yet have a clear grasp of what TVs are and aren't supposed to do. Other formats including VHS tapes have had experimentation with interactive features in the past, so he reasons that this is just a cool new feature of television. It isn't until the van appears outside and he gets the message saying his prize has arrived that it really "clicks" just how wrong the situation is.
