I modified my 2600 to have composite output instead. It also slightly improves the video quality

Beat me to it. Life got really good when I could upgrade from the small kitchen B/W set to a color one.

What channel would you use? I always used channel three and swore channel four gave a worse signal.

In 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.

That 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.

Jeez. 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?
