Well, first off, I've never worked with some of the newer video cards  
with TV out (all I have is an ATI Radeon 9200 Mobility on my iBook),  
but I think I can make some simple comments.
Basically: Is the TV-Out working as a separate adapter on this card,  
or does it only mirror the output that's being sent out the VGA/DVI  
port? If it's just mirroring, then you'll have to use a separate card  
for what you want to do. If it's not mirroring, then it's just as  
easy as having two cards. I think the -adapter command is what you're  
looking for.
