Hello,
if I connect my multimedia box to the TV's SCART socket (via an adapter with audio and S-Video outputs), the image is black and white but the quality is great.
If I connect it to my SCART splitter, I get color but very poor quality.
Does anyone have an explanation and a solution, apart from buying a newer TV that has more outputs?
Thank you

Hello,
actually, it might come from a color setting issue with your media player.
Generally, there's an option in the settings that allows you to switch between PAL/NTSC/SECAM.
Usually, depending on the TV, it's PAL or SECAM, while the NTSC color system is mostly an Asian format, I believe.
In short, if your TV is recent, try first with PAL and then with SECAM (it's a color system exclusive to France that is more of a hassle than anything else).
P.S.: check if your TV allows you to change this system as well.

my multimedia box popcorn only offers me SECAM but only PAL, NTFS, and composite
my TV is old so I conclude that SECAM might work
so I'm left with either changing my TV (later) or changing my SCART power strip (since I have colors) but which wouldn't lose such quality
how can I choose one to be sure
1/ that it would be of good quality
2/ that it would also give me color like my old low-end box?
thank you
