1. QL picture on television

Anyone know how to fix a crappy television output to a QL. Switched between channel 3 and channel 4 still crappy. Sounds weird but I think the television is too new.  Thanks Mark

Fixed it, it was the little television switcher box, weirdly enough, picture isn't great but it's 100x better than it was, still may hunt for a old television.

You should get a composite video cable made. Your picture quality will improve drastically. If it doesn't, it's time to replace your MC1337 (IIRC) chip (a couple of bucks only)

I'm not sure about the QL, but the t1000/1500 absolutely expects an old TV, their RF circutry actually takes advantage of loose RF standards of early 80's TV's LOL! :)
