The color computers shipped with an RF (radio frequency) switch box that allowed switching between the CoCo and an antenna. The switch boxes often allow in interference, making for a lower quality (fuzzy and noisy) picture. Instead of using a switch box, considering using an adapter without a switch to avoid the interference.
If you're using a standard RCA phono cable as is typical at that is what came with the CoCo, obtain a "Phono RCA Female to F-Type Male Connector" such as this:
