I don't know whether TV output on RS482 has been tested. But FWIW, load
detection
of the TV output is disabled by default (it creates some problems in
some cases). That's
probably why xrandr says S-video is disconnected. To reenable TV load
detection (and
maybe get xrandr to report S-video as connected), try:
    xrandr --output S-video --set load_detection 1
