atari2600 hook up issues

[GamerTheGreek]

i need help i cant get my 2600 working on my 19 inch color tv. before i get laughed at this is my current set up



magnavox 19 inch tv with a coax reciever.



( i got a 3 way coax spliter mind u )

i have a 5 way switch box that runs xbox , 360, ps2,snes, and atari 8 bit to my tv. ( that works on channel 4).

i have my IO cable line running into the same spliter ( that works on channel 3)

so when i hooked up the 2600 i knew a.) my atari wouldnt support RCA cables. and b.) id have to do things the old fashion way.

well i pluged the wire from the system into the RF box ( making sure the box was on game and not TV) then ran a coax wire to the 3rd port of my 3 way coax spliter. ( i assumed this would either run on channel 3/4. )

but alas everythign works but this 2600 unit. what do i do ( besides not having so much stuff runnign to the tv at once. )

how do i do this with the 3 way spliter. is there something i am missing

Get one of those RF to Coax adapters from Radio Shack. They run a buck or two and, if I'm reading your post right, wlll solve your problems (and give you a much better picture to boot.)

I don't know how much they cost @ radio shack but I paid $4 for it at a thrift store. I wasnt aware they still made them. Anyway, it works great.
