I don't know about HDTV support, but I have had success by completely avoiding ATI's proprietary drivers. For TV out, use the vesa driver to enable the tv out, then use mplayer's vidix to display the video with acceleration. For vga/dvi out, use the open source drivers with xv or vidix for mplayer.
