I can explain!
Digital TV stations now use "virtual channel numbers", which means that a station can use any approved frequency (i.e., RF Channel 19) but will show up on your TV as their "branded" frequency (i.e., Virtual Channel 10).
HawaiiPBS actually has 3 transmitters serving this area: RF Channel 19 on the Saddle, RF Channel 28 at Hilo Bayfront, and RF Channel 41 at Kulani Cone. All 3 of those use Virtual Channel 10.
Depending on your location, you're probably picking up RF Channel 28 and also RF19 or RF41.
