[ubuntu-uk] TV Out from Mythbuntu not in colour

[David King]

I found instructions for that at
http://www.camp0s.com/pc_related/svideo/vcr_to_pc_svideo.php

but it made no difference when I connected pin 15 to pin 19.

The TV itself is a fairly basic old TV, no fancy settings, just 1 scart 
input, no S-Video input, hence I have to use an S-video to scart adapter.


I also tried an adapter that fits onto the VGA connector on the graphics 
card, and has S-video output, but that gave no output at all.
