Can someone explain this to me pls?

It used to be (before digital TVs, flat-screen, etc) that you didn't have the option of switching inputs, so you would have to go to channel 3, which doubled as the "input" channel also. This would be like, for example, NES or Sega.

Also, we had a box that would let you use channels 3 OR 4, but 4 either didn't work as well or had a more useful content on it (i.e, the local FOX network).

At one point I remember having the NES hooked up to a VCR so the TV had to be on channel 3 so that you would see what the VCR was displaying and the VCR had to be on channel 4 to play the game.
