1. Does anyone have a good way to generate modelines and configuration for a 1280 x 720 output? I'm going to hook this up through my Nvidia 5500 and play both regular TV and HD (when my pcHDTV 3000 shows up) through it.
Do some Google searches, and/or search the MythTV archives. The HDTV modes are standard. http://www.sllug.org/how-to/linux-htpc/video_card_configuration.html is a good starting point; also see Jarod's pages.
How are you planning to connect the PC to the HDTV? VGA direct? VGA->Component adaptor? DVI?
2. Is 1280 x 720 the best choice for resolution? Obviously here in the US, so I'm curious to know if I'm missing something.
It depends on your TV. If it's a plasma or LCD with 720p as its native resolution, then yes, 1280x720 is what you want. If it's a CRT with 1080i as its native resolution, you probably want 1080i (or 540p, or "540pw", which is 1920x540). Or if it's a plasma or projector with some other native resolution, use that and let the video card do all the scaling.
