The only way I was able to resolve this with TwinView monitors was to
force the refresh rate of both monitors to be the same.  I don't know if
it's a good idea, or even feasable, to change the refresh rate of
TV-Out, so try forcing your monitor to the same refresh rate.

I used these options in my xord.conf:

Option "TwinView"
    Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,1024x768"
    Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "60"
    Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "75"
    Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
