Frequently Asked Questions on this product
Q. - Is this compatible with All Classic game systems?
A. - Yes, this is fully compatible with ANY Game system that uses an RF Switchbox. It is a direct replacement with no moving parts.

Q. - I have an original Mattel Intellivision and NES . Both of these only have one type of output - Some kind of jack that looks like a standard RCA plug and carries both Audio and Video. For both of these units, I have some kind of "RF Switch" that converts the RCA-like plug from the console to a standard COAX plug.
Now, while the NES looks *okay*, the Intellivision looks horrible (and not because it's an Intellivision!). I'm guessing it has a lot to do with interference from the many surrounding devices.
I was about to purchase two of your "Classic Videogame Cable Adapters" (along with the shielded cables), until I panicked and noticed (unless I looked wrong), there's no way to daisy chain the NES 2 and the Intellivision (along with my Antenna) with these cables - am I wrong?
What's your best advice to help my signal here?
A. - Yes, it sounds like the RF Shielded cable coming out of the system, or the switchbox may be faulty/damaged.
You cannot daisychain these as is, but you can get a splitter for 2 (or 3,4 whatever) rf cable input to one output. I imagine you'd have to turn off all rf sources except one, or you could buy a switcher (more convenient, more costly) from radio shack/wakmlrt/bestbuy/etc...
