    Interesting, thanks for the advice. I'll probably give that a try. Those custom cables were kind of spendy, but it would be well worth it if it works.

    Haven't tried channel three, though I did see the switch for it in the battery compartment. I'll see if that makes a difference.

    Got it working finally! Turns out, there's a bunch of variable (adjustable) resistors inside. One of them is a vertical adjustment. Playing with that one got me hitting the right frequency for the TV, and it's working perfectly now!

    Anyone want to buy it? :P

    I actually was going to suggest re-seating the cards inside the system, I had forgotten it had a bunch of resistors that could be adjusted in it. Great to know you got it to work!

    Honestly if I had the money I would, but college costs ya know so I'm broke X3
