This is not a Debian/Linux thing.  The problem is that nVidia TVOut 
sucks.  See the latest article on tomshardware.com for more instances of 
this.  Seems it's a long running complaint w/ nVidia Cards.  There's a site 
that has a tool for workarounds in the Windows world at www.tvtool.com . 
Other than that I would suggest ATI if TVOut is that important to you.
