Hey everyone (new to this site. first post. Woo!).
Was wondering if I could get some advice on my Atari 800 XE comptuer. The thing still works, but I'm having trouble with the picture. I have it plugged into an old CRT television with an RF modulator that has one of those sliding switches that goes between "tv" and "computer".
It doesn't work very well. The screen is all staticy when I first turn the machine on. Sometimes the picture corrects itself, but any small movement will mess it up. I can sometimes fix the picture by lightly tapping the cords with my fingers, but it's not a reliable method.
So I'm curious, is there a simple way that I can fix this? Do I need like a new RF switch or perhaps some alternative equipment? What do you guys use and do you experience the same issues that I do?
Thanks for all your help!
