    I have a HEL-80, purchased from MilestonePC.com. I tried to hook it up to the TV with S-video, and it only comes up black and white. Oddly, when I use a S-video to composite adapter, the picture shows up on my tv in color. Now that I think of it, this probably has to do with my cables or tv. I will check this, but in the meantime, if there are known issues with that, I'd love to know.

    Also, the chroma was through the roof when I fed the video out to my tv. I tried to adjust the settings for saturation in my nvidia control panel, but either it wouldn't let me change it, or nothing did change. Any ideas how to resolve this? Thanks!

    If I am not mistaken this model requires a 7-Pin S-Video Cable.

    It does not. You have to select "Composite" as the output signal (I don't know why) to get color. It's available somewhere in the TV-settings when the TV is connected.
