I've been trying for a few weeks.  I have a mythtv box based on debian
with an NVidia GeForce 4 card that I want to use to connect to my TV.
*None* of the configs I've tried have worked with either the nv or
nvidia drivers.  I know right now tv out is broken in the nvidia driver.
I even tried nvtv with no success.  Good luck.  If you get anything
working I'd sure like to hear about it.
