Interesting. I haven't had that problem myself...
Have you tried enabling the software cursor rather than the
hardware-accelerated cursor? There's something in the nvtv docs I
remember that sounds a lot like your problem, and the sw vs. hw cursor
was the solution. There might even be a command line option to nvtv to
allow you to set that.
Hope this fixes it,
Chris

I tried nvtv a while back but I was having problems with the mouse
pointer
not being on the right spot (it highligts a selection on another part of
the
screen so now I use the built in tv out feature of the nvidia drivers.
I
use a script to switch two versions of my XF86Config-4 , one for Monitor
output and one for TV output and just Ctrl Alt BAckspace to switch. I
get
some black edges on the tv output though, not much, but the picture can
be
bigger but I dont know how to do it.
