1. NV TV Out works with Open source and binary NVidia
drivers.
2. It supports a hell of a lot of cards
3. It can work with non dual-head older cards like my
trusty old tnt2-m64
4. It works.. It bloody well works :->

Great tool. Means I never had to reboot to watch
videos off mplayer. Plus I can pleasantly tweak a lot
of the TV features of the chipset.

On the fly support for MPlayer would be even better so
I don't have to start nvtv first.
