After you gave that, you have to tune your TV to the channel, however modern TVs default to digital signal. So I recommend, attach your Atari to the TV coaxial connection, pop in a cartridge and power it on. Then go into TV settings and tune in the “air” or antenna channels. The TV will find what channel the Atari is tuned to and save it ...
Like u/Dizzy-Art-2382, I found an Atari 2600 in my flat's attic.I took the Atari to my workplace where there are plenty of TVs, so I could test it out. I tried connecting the RCA cable to the tv's analogue channel and was able to pick up something very fuzzy that looked like the menu, but wasn't able to get anything further.
Depends if your TV can interpret RF or not. If you use the $5 adapter, and see nothing because your TV is looking for channels, the workaround for this is to use a VCR. Run your Atari into the VCR and then use the VCR's RCA output (the red yellow and white things) to go into your TV. You can also solder in an RCA out with a mod.
You don’t need the little TV/Game adapter the 2600 shipped with. Connect the output of the 2600 to a little adapter you get on Amazon. Then attach to your TV’s coax input. Hit Amazon and find “VCE 2 Pack Atari Adapter, Phono RCA Female to F Type Male RF Connector Coaxial Adapter for Atari 2600/ 7800 Sega/ Coleco/ Commodore Game System”

Since the 2600 only natively outputs rf a simple cable option is not really viable since it would just have to be a transcoder in the cable anyway. Nobody has really done anywork on a cable such as this for the atari machines as far as I am aware, most likely due to pretty low demand and the fact that it would not really improve the visuals.
Apr 8, 2022 · First connect the Atari to the antenna in coaxial connector in the back of the VCR. You either need one of those switch boxes that used to come with an Atari or even better is the F connector. For the F connector you connect that directly to the cable coming out of the Atari then connect that to the back of the VCR as I described above.
