The component inputs on most HDTV monitors use the YPrPb color space, which

electrical conversion between the two colorspaces can be done using analog
circuitry, but it isn't something as simple as cutting open a cable and
soldering on new connectors.
... but it could be if one could phony up a fake Xv mode. No
reason why RGB can't be used as generic D/A outputs and spew raw YPbPr
data from the MPEG stream to them. Any card with sync-on-green could
potentially do it. Technically, bipolar sync would be required for
anything above 480i/p, but I bet that most HDTVs would work with the
unipolar sync.
Something I've been meaning to try but havn't had the time (and I
can't code for crap).
