[Coco] [Color Computer] Trying to connect my CoCo2

Make sure your modern tv is set to antenna and not cable, analog channel 3/4. Otherwise could be something wrong with the tv or coco.

AFAIK all modern TV sets (LCD etc) can still pick up the old channels like 3 and 4. 


But I bet you can get a tube color TV for free - thrifts won't take them where I am.


Try Craig's List or Freecycle etc.

How old is the TV? Modern TVs do *digital* TV signals. The CoCo is 
putting out *analog* TV signals. They aren't compatible.

You may need something to convert the analog TV signal to composite 
video and feed that into a composite in jack on the TV. One cheap way 
is to pick up an old VCR.
