Connecting an N64

[Kemik]

Hey,

I bought an N64 recently and it came with an RF unit you plug into the back and the relevant wire. I took the wire and plugged it into the arial socket of my tv, switched the n64 on and nothing happened. I flicked through the channels but can't see the n64 signal anywhere.

Does anyone have any idea how to get this thing working? I've only ever used the three RGB cables, never touched rf.

Thanks!

Thanks guys. That sucks. It means I'll have to rescan every time we wanna watch normal tv. Hmm... I'll have a play with the VCR. I saw instructions around here somewhere...

I went from RGB (PS) to Scart (PS2) to HDMI (PS3) so managed to dodge this horrid RF rubbish

Surely you can scan 1 channel to "games console" and leave the other channels intact? How old is this TV and how many analog channels does it have? I have a 14 inch from like 10 years ago and it has 99 analog channels and one "AV/Scart" channel. In the "old" days, used to set 1, 2, 3, 4, as Tv and 5 was tuned to a signal that worked with Megadrive/SNES etc. (This probably makes very little sense if you have never tuned analog channels, I guess).

Plugged it into the VCR and tuned the first channel on that to the one I found with the N64 on. Not sure how old the TV is. I'm living in rented accommodation through work atm for 9 weeks. Shouldn't have any problem when I get home as all my channels are digital, the N64 will have free roam of analogue

As for everyone else, I'm 21 and used auto-tune in the past. Then digital come about and didn't need to bother

I just assumed the RF would go on it's own channel like the Scart did. I was wrong. I apologise for making such an assumption
