I just got a good scare
While importing a disk I just happened to look over at the TV and realized it was in B&W.
I played with the SVIDEO cable and it flickered a lot so I know it's going bad but none of the flickering was in color so I thought something else must be going on. I connected a Karaoke player to the FM modulator and got good color, I connected my backup pc to the svideo cable and got color. I thought for sure my graphics card was having problems (3 hours before a show) the cables I use at the show were already there and setup so I couldn't switch out the cables. I disconnected both ends of the cable to examine for damage and saw none but when I reconnected it, it started flickering back and forth between B&W and Color...big sigh of relief.
Just a bad svideo cable. I hope your problem was as simple.
