Do you have the latest nVidia binary drivers? Older versions didn't
support XVideo overlay via TV-out because of copy-protection issues
(wasn't enabling MacroVision, and they didn't want to get in trouble). I
understand that the latest release is supposed to add support for XVideo
via TV-out. If it doesn't work, try contacting nVidia and asking them
what's up.
