minus-squareblackbeans@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-28 days agoI modified my 2600 to have composite output instead. It also slightly improves the video quality
minus-squarenickiwest@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·9 days agoI feel simultaneously seen and called out.

minus-squareDejected Warp Core@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 days agoBeat me to it. Life got really good when I could upgrade from the small kitchen B/W set to a color one.
minus-squareTiger666@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 days agoWhat channel would you use? I always used channel three and swore channel four gave a worse signal.
minus-squareRob T Firefly@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-27 days 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-up2·8 days 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-up1·8 days 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?
