What I'm talking about is different. It's hard to explain, but I heard it's something to do with the kinda signal that old systems like a 2600 send out the RF switch.
I'm not very technically inclined, so I really don't know what it's really about, but I heard that you could risk ruining your TV, when you use the really old systems that can only use a RF Switch and nothing else.
I was thinking that if I was going to hook up the old 2600, I should try it on a cheapy 20 inch TV, instead of my 2 grand HDTV.
