If we could get the model number of your Vizio TV, it would help.

Edit: It appears there's also a couple versions of the Flashback, so which one do you have?

Does the TV have a coax (cable-TV style) input? My Sharp Aquos does.

It should look like this:

There is something you can get so that you don't have to use the whole antenna wire and Computer/TV switchbox. I think it's called an RCA-to-type-F adapter. It allows you to connect the old Atari's long thin wire that looks like this:

directly to the coax.

The adapter looks like so:

EDIT: oops, I missed that it's a Flashback. I mistakenly thought you meant an original unit.
