And the modulator works....

Hooked up via my UHF to HDMI adapter:

I think that you just have the contrast too high on the telly so the noise is really showing up.

Other than being a bit soft and fuzzy the RF on my telly isn't too bad at all.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Yeah, TBH I didn't have much time to play around with it, so I expect I could improve on the image.

I'm just shocked (Like everything else with this machine!!!) that the modulator actually works.
