My FX5200 is terrible compared to my PVR 350. No contest. Maybe these
people either:
1.) Have terrible TVs 2.) Use the DVI output on the FX5200?
3.) Took the time to *learn* how to properly configure their NVIDIA
cards for TV out

No, that's not the complete problem. I have properly setup my
modeline(s) to eliminate the scaling that it would normally do if you
have a improperly formatted NTSC modeline.
The problem is that the quality of TV encoders used on Nvidia designs
(and clones) various greatly. Some encoders are external to the Nvidia
GPU (Phillips and others) some are integrated into the Nvidia GPU. For
me, the output of the signal is washed out. No adjustment of XV
controls completely corrects the image.
Some cards are better. From casual reading, it appears board with
external encoders are better than Nvidia's newer internal designs.
