I have hooked up a Speccy to my modern TV using its antenna input and found its analog channel. The Speccy boots, the copyright screen is sharp and readable.
The logic seems to work: I can get it to beep with the beep command. I can change border colors. Well, here comes the problem. I don't see color, just greyscale. And a lot of audio noise through the TV (the beep is not distorted though).
First thing to find out: is this a problem with the Spectrum or a compatibility issue with my TV? I've read about some picky TV's having trouble displaying color of a Speccy. My Sega's RF output did work in color on the same TV. If it's a known Spectrum problem, I'd like some pointers to approach this.
I have no history about this spectrum; I don't know if it would eg be composite modded. I assume not, as it is detected as an RF channel.
