What tv are you trying it on?

I have had no problem with connecting tv out to my tv.

also what cable are you using to connect them both

You're probably generating rgb and the tv is expecting composite. On our tele there's a choice of format the s-video feed can be in and you change it to suit. If yours doesn't have that then you may be able to change the feed on the pc.

I also had this at the weekend. The output on my card is s-video. I bought an s-video lead and scart adapter and the picture is black and white. I can switch the card to composite out using software but it then goes really blurred. I've ordered a s-video to rca cable

I'll post if it works.

Never going to get a good pic on a tv
Resolution too low..

Plasma/projector/LCD is ok though.

I do drive mine in composite but only as a readout for jukebox work using MyHTPC software.
