As soon as I receive my DCTV, I'll post my findings regarding NTSC output.
 
You can't tell a good encoder/genlock by looking at the screen.  Color
choices, saturation value, etc. will mislead you.  The only way to determine
how good it is is to see it on the scopes.
 
Since I'm doing animation for a local superstation, I have access to all the
necessary equipment (Sony vectorscopes and waveforms).  If it's not
up-to-snuff, it will show up here.  If everything looks good, all you have to
do is watch your colors.  I'm using a TrueVision VIDI/O box for my encoding,
and it's broadcast quality...but I can still get a crappy image due to bad
pallette choices.
