Overlay mode and ATI Theater Mode
There is Theatre Mode feature of ATI Radeon drivers - it automatically switches secondary devices (Tv, or monitors) to fullscreen overlay mode (when any displayed overlay detected???). That is very useful for watching films for example - you could minimize player window on primary monitor, and watch the full screen image at TV.
With AVS in overlay mode the TV screen shows only the solid green color for now (it detects the overlay mode right, but nothing except this solid color is shown). may be this could be fixed?

don't bet on it...
in fact don't bet on any updates to AVS at all :(
also, your bug report is already in the known bugs section of the AVS Wishlist (sticky in this forum) afaik
