I'm surprised noone else has said this, but I'm guessing that your problem is that the ZX81 outputs a noninterlaced signal, which your capture device must not like. Do you have any other older 8- or 16-bit computers or game consoles to test it with? Most of them also output a noninterlaced signal. If this is a case, a TBC will definitely fix your problem, although you might do good to hack the Sinclair to gain access to the most pristine video signal the system offers, before RF modulating.
