Hello,

I can't get my Old TV to get an image. I'm using in this order: My tablet -> HDMI to RCA Converter -> RF Modulator -> Matching Transformer, Ancable 3-Pack Gold Plated - 75 Ohm to 300 Ohm Adapter - UHF/VHF/FM Balun

I tried it on another TV and it works just fine. I'm not sure exactly why it isn't working. Any help?

Hello,

It says:

CTC-98A
27480232
RWZ CD3
REV 33

I'm on NTSC.

I talked to a guy and he said to connect to VHF.

I managed to get an image but its really faded.

A normal TV display quality will be nowhere the quality of a Tablet. The TV resolution will be around 360 x 240 pixels, the tablet at least 3 times that.

Unfortunately it's even worse than that - dropping resolution down to the poor NTSC resolution is bad enough, but then he's also converting it to composite video (the worst quality possible video type), and just to add a third stage of quality lowering he's then feeding it through a cheap RF modulator.

It's the absolute worst possible scenario.
 
RF modulator will be for a specific channel (frequency). What channel is it outputting to? Tune to that channel on the TV. Channels 2-13 are all VHF. Channels 14 and up are UHF

Wow - never knew that - over here 21-68(9) were UHF. The higher frequencies have since been sold off, so I'm not sure what the top channel is now?.
 
Different countries, different channels. Channel 13 ended at the 210-216Mhz VHF area. Channel 14 started at 470Mhz and up to channel 83 which ended at 884-890Mhz
