I also, would like to add that some times it was not just the cable, but the 
"switch box" on the back of the TV. Ecpecially if you were changing the 
cable from let say the CoCo, and an Intellevision unit. The inside of most 
switch boxes were really cheaply made, and had very thin contacts. We ended 
up getting a new one every couple months. For sume reason the "Prongs" would 
fall off, and we would have to wrap the bare wires arount the screws at the 
back of the tv.
