They're often too tight or too loose, and you have to reach behind closets so you can't see the color to match, and you have to put them in at weird angles.

I haven't used a single TV/receiver back in the day that worked first try. You'd have to twist that one port, pull the other one out slightly, or constantly try to push it upwards to get a good signal. Kids really don't know how good they have it with HDMI.

I completely forgot about that but youre right. I remember plugging these cables in at my aunts house and needing to balance a vhs tape on them to apply down pressure so the signal on the tv wasnt black and white.
