I have some experience with the nVidia cards with TV-Out or Video-Out so maybe I can shed some light on something for you....

I have tried and tried and tried and I have yet to be able to get the TV to show one thing, and the monitor something else. Even setting the card in dual mode will not allow this. You can certainly move a program window over to either or display and it will show on that individual display, but the second you maximize that window, it takes up both screens. I'm not sure if it's just a setting I'm completely overlooking, or if it's just not possible...

Knowing what you want to do (ignoring the fact that you're on 2 different floors of the house), it is not possible that I know of. This is mainly due to the fact that although it recognizes your TV as a second display device, it doesn't actually act like an individual device.

Anyone here is more then welcome to correct me if I'm wrong, and hopefully explain a way to actually move a window to either display device and have it maximize etc JUST on that one device. If I'm missing something I'd love to hear a way to make that work! It's been driving me nuts
