        If you're going to get a new video card for TV out, try to
get one that's supported by "nvtv" so you can fix those "positioning"
problems.  The nvtv documentation says which encoder chips are
supported.  You may be able to identify the chip used in the board you
want to buy by looking at images.  There's also a database at
http://tvtool.de/ that may be useful.

        Also, the latest nVidia drivers support overscanning on
MX440 boards (which nvtv does not support) so that's another
alternative.
