If price is an issue, you could always grab an old voodoo3 3500
That pod had nice TV-out.

Otherwise, you can pick up an ATI All-In Wonder card. Even an older one - like a 7500, or 8500.

Wow... reminds me of the days I used to have one!
I put together a SCSI RAID array system back 5(?) years ago for this guy... the system was dual PIII 1 GHz and 1 GB of memory!! <-- remember this was 5 years ago or so!! He spent about $5000 into it (he's a semi-pro video guy) and so gave me a Voodoo3 3500 TV (at the time, worth about $180!!) to me for my troubles and the fact that it wasn't "good enough for him" in video editing! It was sweet to watch TV and play games of the time!

Essentially any video card can be used to output to a television. You can even get a VGA converter (to svideo or composite, etc) and use your current video card. The All In Wonder cards were suggested because they have several video output connectors on the card making it easy to use for video input/output. The only requirement for outputting from a video card to a tv is that the two are physically connected with a video cable of some sorts.
