Malix Posted October 25, 2001 Share Posted October 25, 2001 My 4-switch works great on my TV and the picture quality is wonderful. The problem is when I switch back to watch the tube, some channels have static and some come in even worse. Does anyone else have this problem, if so is there a fix?

+-^CrossBow^- Posted October 25, 2001 Share Posted October 25, 2001 I would say the problem is that the switch box itself isn't supplying a strong signal for the TV operation mode. Does the static go away when you connect the ant straight to the TV? IN other words removing the RF box? Might just need a new RF box.

Ze_ro Posted October 25, 2001 Share Posted October 25, 2001 See if you can find a coax switch at Radio Shack (or any other equivalent store). They accept two coaxial inputs and has a switch on it similar to a TV/Game switch. Plug your cable line (or antenna) into one side, and the Atari TV/Game switch into the other, and you should be able to use this switch without any interference (You can also plug extra RF switches into it without causing more interference). This is what I've been using, and it's great --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malix Posted October 26, 2001 Author Share Posted October 26, 2001 Thanks for the help...I will give it a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_ Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 Radio shack sells the best switch box. It is for coax and flat wire. Get the white label metal box one. It comes with a little resistor you screw in between the flat wire terminals (cause you dont use that) and that resistor kills any noise from that part of circuitry.
