You are setting your TV to NTSC 3.58, right?  That's the standard used in
the United States, Canada, and Japan.  There is an NTSC 4.43 variant that I
think is used in some parts of South America.  With the color-burst signal
on a different frequency, you'll only get a B&W image.  Another (less
likely) possibility is that you're feeding an S-video luminance input with a
composite signal (kinda hard to do that by accident when a composite signal
uses an RCA connector and an S-video signal uses a mini-DIN-4 connector).
