I don't know but I thought it worked like this: Since I've defined two
channels on two inputs with two different video sources, I have channel 600
as the composite input and channel 601 is the S-Video input. I think
pressing Y or C was removed just before 0.19, and now myth just relies on
the channel number to work out which input to use.

Rather than a mythtv problem, I think this is a linux video problem, since
tvtime shows it in black and white too. Maybe the S-Video lead would be
better, however when I was testing in tvtime both composite and S-Video were
B/W. Also I only have one S-Video cable (at the moment), and that links my
graphics card to the TV so I don't want to use it all the time. At a guess
I'd say if its possible to get colour on the S-Video lead, it should also be
possible to get it on the composite, so I'll stick with composite for now.

Thanks,

Jonny
