The only cards that can do it are a model of a Xabre sold in Japan, and the
ATi cards that support that HDTV dongle. See

this device is restricted to 480p max when you attempt to watch DVD content
(blame Macrovision).

There is no way a GeForce can do it. Only way is to hope that your HDTV has
VGA input.
