Problem with TV out

[Sharpe]

I've got a little problem.

When I connect my TV to my video card, my TV won't seem to show any colors. I've had this problem forever, and I've tried different TV's and video cards. I've tried a Riva TNT2 Ultra and a GeForce 2 Ultra, on a 21" Sanyo TV and on a 28" Phillips TV. The Phillips TV is brand new, so I don't think that's the problem, the Sanyo TV CAN be the problem, as it is quite old.

Hope anybody can help. I've tried searching for topics with simular problems, but can't seem to find any.

Sometimes if you use an 'S' video output, this can happen. The solution is to get an adapter which will change the 'S' video into two standard RCA Output leads.

The other time I've seen this happen is if you're trying to watch say an NTSC signal on a PAL system or vice versa. Just make sure that the settings in the video card software are set to whatever standard you are watching, NTSC or PAL.
