I hated hooking up the TurboGrafx-16!

I have a friend with a TG16, and he couldn't hook it up! I tried to help, but the connectors baffled me!

I know about the 2/3 switch on the back of the TG16, which setting is best?

EDIT: How do I put a ? at the end of the question in the topic title?

Any system that has those dumb screw-in cables.

That's what I hated about the TG16!

Also, the carts were too small! They were about the size of Game Boy carts!

An Video... or wait that's not an console.

All my consoles was easy to hook up. But then I only have Nintendo ones... which is aimed towards everyone.

My PS was a pain, only because I had the stupid cables, the ones you plug into the back of the TV.

On another note I use one of the older RF switches for my Cube, and it seems to screw in nicely on my television but it is a pain in the ASS to get going on any other set.

Man, hooking up my Super Game Boy was hard! I had to put it in a ALREADY hooked up SNES! Man! That was hard! j/k

Really, hooking up any system to a TV isn't hard.

Any TV that uses an RF adaptor. Not only do they cost more, but... ugh. Pains to plug in.

Most systems are pretty easy though - I never had problems with my NES or SNES.

If you have both an RF adapter and the Audio / Video cords for your Nintendo Systems there really not that hard to setup.

Maybe the Xbox though ... being 20 pounds to haul around.

It's not like your head has any contents, so that should make lifting the X-Box a little easier.

Really, they're all easy to hook up unless you're plain stupid.

Uhh.. all mine were pretty easy to hook up. No system is really hard to hook up or whatever, unless you're an idiot or something, like already mentioned

I dont think there is a system thats hard to hook up to a tv, right now, the xbox, ps2, and cube are practically hooked up with the same cord, except the power cords(got a universal RF swtich...) which can also hookup snes, and nes...

it's not that it's hard to set up in general, but the way my TV is positioned, is just that its next to impossible to get behind it (the connections are all fed behind a desk, up BEHIND the tv, which is on an angel in a corner, and into this Red-yellow-whit to r/f converter thingy)

I'm just comparing it to all other systems, it's the heaviest I've seen.

Does GBA count? It can get a little rough inserting those batteries.

It isn't really that hard to hook up RF adapters at all, mostly because I'm used to it, but since my TV isn't equipped with a audio/video connector jack, I would think that the RF is easier to plug in. Nintendo should really consider bundling the RF adapters with their consoles, that would make some things alot easier.

The trickiest Part is still, to connect a S-VHS plug. But the quality is great. (Heh, even the SNES features S-VHS Output! (the PAL-one at least, beat that! Sega!)

And one hard part is to find the right channel if you use a RF-Switch.
