ATARI7800fan Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I have recently bought my first every atari 8-bit and was wondering if the RF cable would work on my Atari 7800. The cable has the RF/co-axial plug so I do not need a box with it. I was wondering because I noticed how much clearer the pictures seems to be compared to the video on the 7800 on my HDTV. The cable looks like a normal RF cable just has a box type thing on it that says which end plugs into the computer. So would it work, Thanks for your time.

Rex Dart Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Probably, depends on the box type thing. Does it have a switch to flip, an internal auto switch, or neither? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svenski Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Should work fine, the "box" just contains some circuitry to help cut down interference . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried it out and it works perfectly, did not even get any interference on my HDTV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 BTW, disconnect the cable from your 7800 but leave it in your HDTV, and....you got yourself an antenna. Found that out accidentally.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
