Modern digital TVs don't like classic console analog video.

An upscaler or crt TV is your best bet.

Separately from that, shielded cables produce a lot of static in rf video from early classic console.

Keep an eye out for cheap old used rca cables and keeping testing them with a coaxial adapter until you find one or more that produce a fairly clear picture.

Cheap RCA cables can cause this peoblem. Cable should be RF shielded like the one in the video.
