[mythtv-users] Black and White on TV

[Steven Rubano]

The black and white output you are experience is due to the fact that you
may be loading the "S-Video" drivers rather the "Composite" driver for the
card. Even though you only have and Svideo out on the card with the Svideo
to Composite out, you need to select the appropriate video out. Go here:

And you should see the instructions in that section on how to determine /
test which video out you are using /need to use.

I also ran into a weird problem that this occurred if I had a monitor  

ALSO hooked up and on... if I got rid of the monitor, color came back  

(after a reboot/X-restart). Didn't get into trying to debug it, since  

the machine normally didn't have a monitor.

 

Has the "monitor there" condition changed in your move?
