I actually just got this working, but now I don't remember all the steps. I did it all by right clicking on the desktop, selecting Properties, Settings, Advanced... at some point, I selected an "nView" tab and selected a "clone" output. Somewhere on the tab there was also a TV option.

At that point, I had fuzzy B&W. I kept poking around though and was eventually able to select S-video as the output. Everything was beautiful after that. However, I had to decrease my screen area quite a bit to see it all on the tv screen. With the highest screen area selected TV picture is cropped, but it does pan when you move your mouse.

I'm running Windows XP with an NVidia card. I suspect the procedures vary depending on your OS and video card. Good luck.
