This "no ingame tv video on ATI HD2600 cards" issue indeed appears to be driver related.
For eight months now, I've been using an iMac and had been playing "The Sims 2" under Windows XP (installed via BootCamp) and had the very same problem: no ingame tv video. I thought it to be some Mac incompatibily problem...but...
I finally moved to the Mac version of "The Sims 2". So I'm playing the game under Mac OS X now and guess what: everything works perfectly!
Definitively, this IS a driver issue!
Hey you ATI guys: If Apple can do it for Mac OS X, so you should be able to do it for good old Windows XP, right? YOU built the hardware!
It's a shame, really.
