Was the picture significantly better then with the
modulator ?
It always was for me.
With composite input, I could read 80 characters per line, not with RF,
For example, on the RS Coco, it wasn't very hard to bring out composite
video for a sharper picture. With RF, the signal was converted from
video to RF, and then the TV tuner converted back to video. Certainly,
some were worse than others, . . .
The tuners in VCRs were almost always much better than those in TVs, for
watching over the air broadcasts, a VCR tuner with composite video to a
monitor was better than a TV.
From 1975 until 2010, I didn't have a TV with a tuner.
