   Hello Patty,   
      
   Daniel's right, SCART (done right) is a Good Thing, but U.S.   
   Televisions do not feature SCART connectors so we can safely   
   ignore it.   
      
   Are you using the original cable from your 2600 to the TV?   
   Do you get a picture if you hook that TV up to an antenna or   
   VCR?  Examine the cable closely for kinds or mutilations.   
   Give the connector at the TV end a good tug.  If there's a   
   connector at the 2600 end, give that a tug too.  Let us know   
   what you find out.
