I have this issue as well. If video is coming off the Television input
of my tuner card (ATI Wonder TV VE), the image is b&w. However, if I
select the Composite1 input (hitting "c" in mythtv), the signal comes in
full color.
For testing I have an antenna hooked up to a VCR, then from the VCR I
have both coax and an RCA composite running to the tuner card. The
signal over the coax seems to be interpreted as b&w, but the composite
is color and looks just fine.
It behaves the same way in XawTV, so it's not a MythTV issue, but
probably a card driver issue.
