    Default laptop to 5 tvs?

    iv got 5 tvs in my premises, they all have svideo and scart etc

    What im trying to do is connect my laptop to the first one in the chain with some advertisng and then boost it back over to the other tellys. So far i know that the s-video connection connects easily to the first tv and its in colour, so i bought a modullaor from maplins that converts a scart input to tv out on a coaxil cable which i then put in a booster and send to the other tvs works in theory but once i put the s-video into scart adapter it comes out in black and white. so i bought an s-video to scart lead and the same thing happens . soon as it goes to scart its black and white i have tried all the tevs seperately and all are the same. Its doin my head in. There must be a way of connecting all the tellys to the laptop in an affordable way please any one

    A video distribution unit would be better.
    To distribute the signal at composite or svideo rather than RF.

    i take it you are using a s-vid to scart adapter? check pin 4 on the din is connected to pin 15 on the scart using a meter, that is the chroma signal (color), is there a setting on the modulator for pal/ntsc
