Don't be to worried about nvtv, it was for older cards without the built in 
nvidia tv out chip.  Apparently nvidia wont release the specifications for 
their chip and so support is a bit limited.

It does seem a bit strange your card doesn't work for a newer driver but at 
least you can get it to work.  Hopefully it'll get fixed in a new release.
