Quick question 'bout Scart

It's really quite sad when the first person to reply to your post is...well...yourself. Anyways; I just read something else that might explain why the games where in black and white. Does it have anything to do with the fact that my TV isn't capable of 60Hz? I know this for a fact since I've played Burnout on it and it runs a test to see what Hz to play at (if you didn't know that).

So, is that why the games were in black and white? Or, is it a mixture of both that, and the fact that they may have been NTSC? What's the diddly people? Oh, and is the best solution basically to get a new TV? If it is, then I'm buggered as I really don't have the cash.

Cheers once again,
