Hello,
Just hooked up a TS 2068 to a newer cable ready TV with an L shaped
connector which I can screw the RF antenna switch box into that came
with the computer. When I put the TV on channel 2, I see my Sinclair
copyright message but seems that all my video is in Black and White.
If I switch the computer to use channel 3, and put the TV on channel 3;
again I see black and white. Am I hooking things up wrong or is my
2068 defective?
Thanks for the help.
Ron

You might want to use this instead, in case you have a bad switchbox:
Coaxial (F-Type) to Female RCA Adapter
(http://www.atariage.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info
<http://www.atariage.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath1&pro
ducts_idB> &cPath1&products_idB) . You can get it from lots of
places, though. This way you don't have to use a switchbox at all on these
classic systems.
