KWorld DVB-T 210SE - Capture only in Black/White

[Ian Davidson <id012c3076@blueyonder.co.uk>]

I have a KWorld DVB-T 210SE card which is not autodetected.  I want to 
use this card simply to capture video from the Composite input - the 
tuner is redundant.  With help from Hermann, I now am able to capture 
video - but the video is always Black and White.  I would much prefer it 
to be colour.

I would appreciate suggestions as to what to try next.
