You could get color if a weak signal drifted in (and had a color TV), but generally it was black and white. OP needs to take that pixelated mess back and fix it.

I had a tv that output static with the colors when signal was missing, it did NOT make the fuzz sound tho.

This was the early 90s

I think early digital may have done that, but not analog.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Digital is either on or off. You need analog to get static.
