      You could get color if a weak signal drifted in (and had a color TV), but generally it was black and white. OP needs to take that pixelated mess back and fix it.

        I had a tv that output static with the colors when signal was missing, it did NOT make the fuzz sound tho.

        This was the early 90s

            For the tv we had my recollection was that it only happened when there was no input plugged into the UHF.

            Or if the Nintendo inline was plugged in and the Nintendo was off, and no other input.

            We had cable since that late 80s so I don’t recall ever dealing with signal loss beyond VH1 becoming scrambled at 9:30 for the playboy channel.

      We had a really old tv in my basement when I was young. If you messed with the hue knob while on a non existent channel you could get a lot more colorful static
