You need to set some options in xorg.conf :

Option "TVType" "string"

Where string is one of the following TV standard :
NTSC ; PAL ; 480P ; 576P ; 720P ; 1080I

and

Option "TVOutput" "string"

Where string is one of the following TV connexion type :

Composite ; S-Video ; RGB ; YCbCr ; SC

Then you need to use a supported mode for your TV encoder and the TVType 
you set in xorg.conf. See 
http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=TVOut for a list 
of all supported mode.

I'll add a clean up version of this to the wiki later, please feel free 
to spot anything that might not be as clear as needed.
