Just curious; did you set your TV to expect SVideo. In my experience most  
TVs don't autodetect that - don't even know if it's possible. Plus I had  
to do it on mine. :)

SVideo luminance uses the same input on SCART that the entire composite  
signal does, hence the B/W picture (sorry if this is obvious, haven't been  
paying much attention to this thread).
