Mega Drive + HDTV = confusion :[

[Elusive]

My HDTV has two SCART sockets; both are filled (DVD player, Sky set-top box), so they're out of the question. Looks like I need the ole RF cable to get my Mega Drive working.

Normally I'd tune a spare channel on my old 1996 CRT TV to channel 36, turn the Mega Drive on, then let the TV fine-tune to the nth degree to get an ideal image. I can't seem to do this on the newer TV - apparently it works on 'frequency', a triple-digit number.

So, how does 'channel band 36' translate to HDTV-speak?

The UK sure is goofy. Your new TV should be able to tune in all the old channels as an older TV. You may have to go into the tuner section and select "analog" (or "analogue" for you UK people).

Anyway I don't recommend playing it on an HDTV anyway since HDTVs cannot handle 240p. It will upscale it to the next resolution and it will look mega-blocky. Use an old analog CRT for the best Mega Drive picture.
