Hello all!

I have a blackbook Core Duo, and I bought the mini-dvi to video adapter to hook it up to my television. When I used the video cable on an older TV, the screen just flickered on me.

So, I tried it on a newer (but smaller) TV, and it did give me clear picture, except it is in black and white! Both the TVs are CRT with just your basic R/W/Y composite cables.

I also own an iBook and have the TV adapter, and everything works fine 100%, so my question is, is this a television problem, or a macbook problem?

It might also be noted that i bought a seperate cable for the MacBook than the one I used for my iBook, but they are the same brand.

Any solutions, or at least could someone tell me what's the problem if there's no solution?

Thanks in advance!
