TV Cable Annoyance

The tv in the living room appears to have died 
(it came via my brother from Dad's room in the care home when he could no longer appreciate it).   
Thank goodness we have a spare in Mrs Quilt's old kitchen one. 
The next half hour will find me swearing and getting sweaty and dusty getting all the cables out of the old one and into the new.
Ms Exlibris  What a shame we're not nearer we seem to have a garage full of TV's!
Bentonbag  The one in the boys’ room is a Murphy portable bought by my Dad so that he could watch the 1974 World Cup in peace in the front room - black&white, going strong, I'll be really annoyed when they switch off the analogue signal.
Ms Exlibris  Our analogue signal went months ago, that's why we've got loads of tv's in the garage!
Bentonbag  Silly isn't it. What a waste of resources!   
Why has no-one come up with a SCART to co-axial plug/thingy to go from the digibox to the telly?  And if someone already has - where can I get 3.
AND - Why are all the damn leads black? Power, scart, arial, everything.   
It's a nightmare unravelling them.  Couldn't the powers that be get together and decide on black, grey, white or something.  That's something the EU could usefully do.
