I've sorted the TV-Out on my NVidia card!
Please note that this is for the UK, if you're not in the UK, change the Option "TVStandard" "PAL-I"
to the correct settings (NTSC/PAL-B etc). The correct code for your country (and also the page I got most of these settings from!) can be found at http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=MonitorToTVTransition

The only issue I have is that everytime I reboot the core/hybrid, it uninstalls the pluto-nvidia-video-driver package and I have to manually apt-get and modprobe it again!
Any solutions to this?[/url]

In the "Media Directors" page of the Pluto Admin website, select that you have an nVidia card on that machine, and it won't remove the drivers from the system anymore (but if you remove them, they'll get re-installed)
Radu.c,
I've tried this already. All I get is a "Unable to obtain resolution" error, presumably because I don't have a monitor attached, it goes straight to the TV-Out Composite.
Is there a field I can edit direct in the database to set this up?
Cheers,

Don't click the resolution button. This is kind of a gotcha. After you select the nVidia card from the drop down, go all the way down that page and click "Update".
Cool.
Seems to have worked for the time being! :D
Any change that this might get a bit more obvious in a future release?
Cheers,
xMarks
