I have a GeForce3 Ti 500 card and run XP.
I cannot get the TV out to work even though
it's connected correctly.

I have tried this with the 41.09 and the 71.89 drivers.
Using 41.09 I don't see the option to chose TV output
and using 71.89 I can choose single display and TV,
but output is still to the monitor.
I know that my connections are OK, because I can make
my old ATI Xpert Play 98 work with TV display.
Should I use an older driver or what?

Per another similar problem posted in here a couple days ago; set your
TV as primary dislpay, not secondary. Also, put Overlay on the Primary
then so you can watch movies on the TV.

The GF3 cards can only drive 1 display at a time as they only have a single
ramdac.

Ok, that makes sense, but even if I select that single display to be TV,
the signal goes to my monitor.
The card has a s-video out - that must have some use ;-)

With my old GF2 GTS which surprising only does one display (as opposed
to the "cheaper" GF2 MX) so I bought TV Tool.
http://tvtool.info/index_e.htm

Allows me to run both screens even though the card wasn't built for it.
Try the demo.
