My System: Sky+

I have just installed a magic eye from my sky+ box connecting to a Bang and Olufsen TV in my bedroom. The picture is great but only black and white. Channels change, can play my saved programs, full functionality just no colour.
Any suggestions?
I tried a different TV and thats OK

Sounds like bang and olufsen isnt tuned in 100 percent have you tried retuning/fine tuning?

Possibly set to a different standard in the tuning menu, make sure it is set to PAL I
