Playing Front Row on TV

I went out today and bought a mini DVI to composite/Svideo adapter for my iMac, in order to connect it to my very basic tv via the composite video socket. I am trying to work out how to get Front Row over to the tv, I have had no problems dragging windows from other programs on to the tv screen, but Front Row just won't budge. My understanding was that I would have to set the tv as the primary monitor by dragging the menu bar in Displays> Arrangements to the blue box representing the tv. I have done this, but still no joy.
Any ideas anyone? Please....

iMac 20" Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.5.1), External LaCie 250gb HD

TV Row now only switches Front Row to the second display.

"Change Log:
1.5.1 Bug-fix. The buttons "Permanently" and "Remove Permanently" now really work.

1.5 Main display will not switch anymore to the second display. Only Front Row will.
No dialog at the end to switch back.
Extra option to make Front Row show permanently on second display."

While TVrow is very easy to use. I feel it does way too much for the task we want. It sets virtually everything on display 2 icons programs dock etc. We only need the unix program displaysinfo to set front row to use another display.
