I found a potential universal converter for our classic consoles for $15 at a thrift store. It's a Samsung SIR TS360 - Satellite TV receiver / HDTV tuner. Here's a pic of the back panel:

I connected my 2600 to it using the coax input and it works - I got a picture on my 15" VGA LCD monitor!! Then I connected my Atari Flashback2, switched the input to "Video" from the menu (composite input) - nice - it works too.

Here's the problem - it happens with either of the 2 game consoles on both the coax and composit inputs: If I run my combat cartridge, the picture is good:

If I load my Super Breakout cart, here's the picture:

It's the same if I load Super Breakout from the hidden Flashbach 2 menu.

Tested my systems on a standard TV  they work fine there. Any thoughts on making this work?

Here's some links on the SIR TS-360:
