TV-Out, how???

Hi!

I'm getting very frustrated here bcouse I can't get TV out.
I have a GF6800GT and I use the included SVHS to composite adapter (The card
is so poorly constructed that it won't take my high quality SVHS connector).
When I boot I see the DOS screena nd boot process just fine, but as soon as
Win starts to load the pictures dissapears and after that there's now ay to
get it back.
Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestion on how to get working TV out?

Also, about the drivers, I've always had ATI cards and there I can set up
theathre mode so that anything played in the media player goes out
fullscreen on the telly even if the mediaplayer is minimized, can I do the
same with NVidia drivers??

it prob has comp and SVHS in the same plug...
the goes black becuase you have configured the display drivers to do that
(which is the default, and correct)
go play with display settings, advanced bit

Yes, played around and got picture in color within win eventually, now video
is played fullscreen on the TV, but games won't for some reason.
Still wish I could use my SVHS out as the quality is way higher.. but the
stupid Gainward card has a 2mm gap between the connector and the backplate
of the card, add to that the computers material (1.5-2mm) and it's
impossible to seat the connector :/

Argh, these drivers are weird.. I HAVE to extend my win desktop to the TV to
be able to use it at all, otherwise all controls for it dissapear, I'm not
interested in seeing win on the TV or losing windows offscreen, I just want
to see video and games on it...

Iam using a 6600 Gt agp on an 86cm WS HD TV. Using Component
conection. And i can play Full screen movies and games.

Just takes some time to figure out all the settings. You might have to
use underscan or overscan to fit stuff to your screen. I use underscan
and 720p mode.

Everything works sweet. Though i have a monitor hooked up as well to
get out of those awkward situatiosn wherei can get to the controls on
the tv. Like when first trying a game thats over 800by600 the maxium
size my TV will handle to see all the settings

It works and it works goooood. Just give it a go.

I believe a lot of newer cards need an adapter to connect an S-Video
cable to the jack.. you can't just plug it directly into the card. (Look
at the jack, the pin arrangement is likely different.)

Probably because you haven't enabled it. You want to turn on Clone mode
in the nView Display Settings.

Full screen video device - set to Secondary Display.

This one has a SVHS out jack and comes with a SVHS to composite adapter, the
pins fit, just can't get the connector in deep enough to seat it properly.
