    I have trouble tuning my famicom as well and i live in the UK. Does your system have a switch where it says CH3 / CH4 at the back?

    If your trying to tune an original (red&white) famicom via rf your going to have a hard time.

    Most PAL tv's wont accept a ntsc signal via RF. To make it even harder the video & picture signals are on different frequencies. So if you do manage to get a picture you will find that its got no sound. Or you will get sound but no picture.

    There is a way to mod an original famicom so it outputs AV but i cant find any info on it on the net.

    You won't be able to hook that to a PAL TV, I imagine, however I have some really shitty Engrish plans for the AV mod. Email me at rbudrick at hotmail dot com. They're easy as hell to follow if you have any soldering experience at all.

    For NTSC TVs, you will need tgo be on channel 95 or 96. Fine tuning on old TVs may be necessary
