[Coco] Coco MC-10 connection problem

[Frank Swygert]

John, you definitely want to use one of those cable to F-jack adapters! 
But don't use it on the TV end, use it on the MC-10 (or CoCo) end. Then 
use a piece of coax cable between the computer and TV. That will GREATLY 
reduce interference. Using the channel slide box just makes the picture 
more "snowy" due to the interference it lets in. You can't use the audio 
in port on the TV because the MC-10 (and CoCo) have a built in RF 
modulator. That's the box you have if it has a switch for channel 3/4 
and not switching between two antenna inputs (a two input box shipped 
with the CoCo and MC-10). If you need multiple inputs (switch from TV to 
computer without physically moving the cable) you'll have to get a cable 
A/B switch. --------------- Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:50:09 -0700 From:

Perhaps something like this F-jack adapter connected to an RCA cable
would be one way to bypass that "Channel 3/4" switchbox entirely:
