Default TV out with 8800 GTX on Vista?

I cannot get my card to output to my TV. I go into nVidia Control
Panel, "Set up multiple displays" -- and I attempt to detect the TV by
using the "rigorous display detection" button and checking the "Force
TV detection on startup". But the only option to me on this control
panel page is"only use one display". There is no option to choose 2
displays.

Also, I do not have nView installed as I have not been able to find a
Vista version.

I have the 8800 GTX graphics card with the latest drivers released
this week. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate (32 bit).

Can anyone help?

Default TV out with 8800 GTX on Vista?

ok, I fixed the issue by using the sVideo cable that came with the
card instead of using the one that I've used and worked with a
previous card.

But now I'm experiencing a new problem.

I have my monitor (24 inch widescreen) cloned with the TV. The maximum
resolution I can set my monitor to when it is cloned is 1024X768, when
it should be 1900X1200. There doesn't seem to be a way to
independently set the resolution of the 2 displays when they are
cloned.

Is there a way to set my monitor to 1900X1200 and my TV to a different
resolution? Or is this a Vista driver related bug?
