Ok, so everybody knows nVidia didn't have the best drivers in Vista, especially in the TV-out department. Well, in Vista, XP and kubuntu, I never could get TV-out to work. At all. I've searched google, searched nad posted at the nvidia forums, still don't have a solution. My TV is a piece of crap, its a 25" analog TV with composite input (no s-video), but I still enjoy watching movies and such on it. I have tried an s-video to composite converter to no avail, different composite cables, and this this adapter. With that adapter, I can get a signal to the TV. But its completely messed up. I can't really describe it, so here is a video of it:

The Cpanel detects the TV... Kind of..
That's also without forcing TV detection. I've also tried hooking it up to my VCR, which also doesn't have s-video. No Dice. Changing the resolution just changes the distortion, it doesn't help. Tried different drivers as well, from 158.XX to the latest 163.44. Nothing.
Now, the cable and the adapter work on my old 9600XT, so I know they are good. Any ideas as to what may be causing my TV out woes?
