Connecting Samsung STB to TV card for MCE

Ive got a Media centre PC setup and running and conencted to my television, running Microsoft media centre 2005.

Im looking at purchasing a TV card for this to enable me to record programs onto my media pc but wanted to ask how it would be possible to connect the output from the Samsung STB to the TV card, I know the TV cards have s-video and composite inputs.
The STB uses a RGB scart to output the picture, can this be converted to s-video ok? as ive read in other places that the picture will be black and white only and other problems.

Has anyone successfully connected the samsung stb to a tv card?? and if so how?.
