So you are already able to output data to the TV-out? You should then check
your BIOS if you can disable the monitor test at POST, or else look around
if there are dongles that make the videocard think it has a monitor
connected. As soon as you are booted into linux you could set things to
TV-out.

btw, I guess that the YUV->RGB decode thing will still stop you from using
it with MythTV.
