nope im not seeing it. Is it somthing i have to make then? I assumed it would adapt from av cables to the old atari connection.

We need more information to help you. Can you post a photo or two showing exactly how you have the RF cabling connected to your TV now? A picture is worth a thousand words.

I recently bought a new LCD TV and found it was very easy to get working with my 2600. I just connected the RF cable to the coaxial input of the TV with a little RCA-coaxial adapter ($5 at Radio Shack or here in the AA store), then told my TV to scan the antenna input for channels. My new TV immediately picked up the RF input and displays the 2600 signal with a very decent picture and sound.

Every TV is different, so it might be very helpful is you post a photo showing what inputs you have on the back. Also, what brand/model of TV is it?

Yes, get us a pic of your tv's inputs - or just post the model number and we can look it up online - and it will be easy to figure out how to get you going.

My tv has 2 coax inputs, and I'm basically running everything through 3 HDMI ports, so on one coax I have the female RCA adapter and the line from a 2600 (or Colecovision depending on what I'm playing) running in, and when I want to play I just select that coax input and fire up the ol' Atari.

I need one of these.....my RF switch box was kicking out a HIDEOUS picture tonight!! Heck, I couldn't even hear any audio for crying out loud!!!!
