the on to use should be marked UHF and VHF.

The other one is probably for an inbuilt satelite reciever (it will be sorounded by a lot of other connectors) and will not be usefull for your purpose

I tried to do a search through the frequencies, but I didn't pick up anything ?- will try another modulator then.

I have two places on the back of the TV where I can connect the antenna signal, what is the difference beetween the two ?

You need to tune in to the channel the VIC 20 is "broadcasting" its signal on like it was a TV channel.

Alternatively you can get a video cable like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Commodore-VIC-20-High-Quality-Scart-Lead-Cable-/260726018376?pt=UK_VintageComputing_RL&hash=item3cb47b5148#ht_2923wt_1413

In adition you will get a better picture than with the RF modulator.

Hi,

I have some problems connecting my Commodore VIC-20 to my LX6000. The Commodore is connected to the TV via an antenna signal, but I can't manage to get the Commodore to show up on the TV. I have another Panasonic TV where I just have to push AV and then it shows up. I am not even sure what to push, I think I have tried almost everything.

Do I need to set up something on the TV before ?

Best Regards
