minus-squareblackbeans@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-21 month agoI modified my 2600 to have composite output instead. It also slightly improves the video quality

minus-squareRob T Firefly@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-21 month agoIn my area channel 4 had a TV station on it and channel 3 didn’t, so channel 3 was the available default for these things.
minus-squareTiger666@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoThat explains the slight interference I was getting. There must have been a signal just in range to scramble things but not close enough to see or hear. Our stations were on 12, 6 and 10 and you could get PBS on 32 on UHF.
minus-squareDyskolos@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoJeez. You old! Damn, me too. Nowadays such a device would be 79,99 ans surely sold separately. Without cables of course. As far as I remember that thing came with the 2600, no?
