Snowy RF on NES Top Loader

Hmm, mine has awful jailbars, but never snow. What kinf od RF cable are you using? It's highly likely that your cable has an issue. I use a shielded RF cable directly to an f-type coaxial adapter. There's basically no need for 'switching' RF cables in 2017.

I have tried two cables and multiple tvs, same results

Are you using a properly rated power adapter?

I use this cable

I use a 9v power supply from RetroBit

That's a bad cable, that's just an RCA cable with a F-Type adapter on it, doesn't look shielded at all. You need something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0074TWWPG/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=56MSV6MB51GI&coliid=I2H8HEKU18815J

Notice how that eBay seller is also selling a 'higher quality' version? You paid $6 for $0.25 of RCA cable and an adapter, you can use the same coax adapter just get a real shielded cable, holmes.

Even the other one from the same seller should solve your problem: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NES-Top-Loader-Shielded-RF-Video-Cable-AV-Adapter-6ft-NES-101-/381967433774

But I'd be wary to buy from them again because they're clearly profiting on folks' ignorance, which is a dick move.

I'm completely 100% new to all of this so forgive my retardation. What happens when you play old systems on a new tv? Is the picture so tiny you can't see it because of the difference in resolution or what?

Modern TVs will upscale the image to fill the screen. That said, HDTVs are built for video content not games, so they try and smooth things out, and always interpret low-res retro consoles as 480i, which is wrong. They basically upscale and deinterlace an image that doesn't need to be deinterlaced, so they look like shit and have a ton of input lag (typically). Some newer TVs don't support 240p signals at all, my Vizio says 'Input Not Supported' if I plug an NES into it via Composite, but for whatever reason, it will work via RF, but it looks terrible. I keep a few small CRTs around for that reason. Upscales built for games like the Framemeister are rather expensive, and still introduce some input lag; less so than your TVs built-in scaler, but lag nonetheless. Pic related is RF capture of my Famicom with a USB capture card, it gives a pretty good idea of how things look on an HDTV; it's worse in motion too.

Good question

Tune it in. If there's nothing wrong with your cables, your TV is just tuned into a slightly wrong frequency.

Rf cables are the worst
