Pioneer:

I was wondering if this was true about video cards not booting up to tv out if mabye there is a program for windows that can boot automatically and then run a series of key presses so that it will make the settings changes it'self.  I've never heard of a program like this but it doesn't sound to difficult to write.

Some cards require you to manually tell it which output to use. I had an NVDIA that I had to do this on. My radeon switches on the fly (using the tab + some other button) between tv and monitor.
Should be no problem booting to tv...it is just another monitor.

I tried all the advice that I recieved
And then I just updated my video drivers which I should have done first.
Anyway it has an option to automatically force TV on startup.
I dont need a computer monitor at all now.  That's what I was shooting for.
Thanks everybody! :'(

I have a radeon 9800 and I have know problem using my TV as the default monitor. The BIOS and Boot skin roll vertically but hey, we cant have everything. Did you setup your primary display to tv through the ati control panel. If so make sure it is set to ntsc format, mine defaulted to pal. I know its a no brainer but make sure you are on the correct input channel, a lot of tvs have seperate input channels for s video. Hope this was of some help.

I have an ati all in wonder and it boots using just the tv with no problems. 
Edit:
Oh looks like you fixed the problem.  Be happy  ;D
