  • Classic NES on Modern TV

    From Minex@GAMENET/TDOD to All on Wed Sep 18 14:22:07 2019
    So I dug out my old original NES and want to try playing it. Everything actually plugs right into my new modern TV. The NES connects to the TV via RF switch (which plugs into the antenna slot of the TV). The RF switch can be set to channels 2 or 3. The problem is that modern TVs are digital now -- I can change to channels 2.x and 3.x. Is there a way to make a modern digital TV connect to channel 2, which is what the RF switch is sending out to?

    I just went the simple route and bought an AV cable.
