Warm but not intolerable. I only played a bit with the tv-out on my 5200, but I must say I had plenty problems with the other cards. With the MX 4000 at hi-res to a monitor, it kept going into "blue screen of xvideo death" which means the xvideo window becomes solid blue and stays blue until you reboot (modprobe unload and reload no help.) Anyway, then I went to set up a system for regular video. My MX 440 card causes the nvidia driver to crash if you boot with just a tv connected. You can get it to work if you boot with a monitor, unplug the monitor, and start X on the TV. Clearly not very workable. The crash problem seems reproted by others at nvnews. The MX 4000 card worked fine in tv-out but the colours are horribly tinted to the red. Still looking for a fix on that.
