Hello again,

I have another question. I ordered a video cabl for my C64 but still like to know what's wrong with my RF cable. When I plug my rf cable into my tv and search for a signal I do get a channel assigned. It is a fully black screen, until I turn on my C64. When I turn on my C64 I get a screen with black snow (like white snow on a tv, but black). Does anyone know if this is my RF cable or my C64? And also, how to get rid of it (:

Thanks in advance!

Are you getting no signal at all when you turn on your C64? Is it hindering you from using the hardware properly or is it just an annoyance?

It sounds just like a bad cable to me

At first the screen is black (iff the C64 is turned off) and then it becomes black snow screen (when it is turned on). I can't see anything at all, so also I cannot use it at all

Have you tried using a different cable?
