[mythtv-users] TV Out problems using S-Video to Composite Adapter

[Jason Elwell]

I cant really answer your question, but wanted to say that I am 
currently using one of the S-video to composite adapter on my Radeon 
tvout without any problems.  The adaptor looks like a yellow 
Tootsie-Roll and was bundled with my card when I bought it.
