Are you really trying to run Twinview, or just the TV output?  My option
settings for just TV out are:

        Option     "NoLogo"                     "True" # [<bool>]
        Option     "NvAGP"                      "1" # <i>
        Option     "IgnoreEDID"                 "True" # [<bool>]
        Option     "ConnectedMonitor"           "TV"
        Option     "TVStandard"                 "NTSC-M" # <str>
        Option     "TVOutFormat"                "SVIDEO" # <str>
        Option     "RenderAccel"                "True" # [<bool>]
        Option     "IgnoreDisplayDevices"       "CRT,DFP"
        Option     "CIOverlay"                  "True" # [<bool>]
        Option     "NoBandWidthTest"            "True"  # [<bool>]

I've attached the whole XF86Config, in case you need it.
