I tried your suggestion but got the usual black TV screen when I start X. I also tried adding three lines:
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
But that too gave just a black screen.
I have x11vnc configured to run so it always runs when X is running (for this user). I can connect via vnc and I can see in nvidia-settings that TV-0 is detected and running @ 800x600, yet the TV itself is black as soon as X loads...???
I also don't see anything bad in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log
