Default Time for me to go back to NVIDIA video cards?

Hello.

In the past, I was a NVIDIA video card user up to 8800 GT (PCIe).
However, I stopped using their video cards and drivers because they
dropped the fullscreen TV overlays for CRT TVs (I use S-video+composite
cables and adapter connected to Toshiba W-627 VCR to a January 1996
19.5" Sharp CRT TV). My current four years old ATI Radeon 4870 video
card (512 MB; PCIe) is having issues with computer games and videos with
crashes.

Does NVIDIA still block fullscreen overlay on CRT TVs in updated Windows
XP Pro. SP3 and up? I watch lots of videos on my old CRT TV fullscreen
while using my computer. I rarely game these days.

Thank you in advance.
