Why did older video game consoles need to be on channel 3 to operate correctly?
In: Technology
Old tvs didn’t have “input” settings they just had channels so in order to display on a tv they had to choose a channel to send the signal on. 3 was universally accepted because it wasn’t commonly used by a standard tv station.
Most, if memory serves, had the option to also switch to channel 4 as a secondary option.
