No, it was the input signal, because before I've simply used a 
scart<->s-video/cinch adapter. While this works without problems in the 
direction s-video->scart the other way around does not work that well - 
or my receiver (the signal source) does not generate a clean s-video 
signal (perhaps I need to configure the output...).

But S-video from the graphic card works :D

I personally see no more problems. But I only tested the combination 
composite+pal-b in the long term, s-video+pal-b was only tested 
yesterday and other TV standards weren't tested by me.

 From my perspective the device works as I expect it (and as I've 
already said: it does that better than on Windows :D )

Let's hope that the other users that helped with this are still around...
