Start with a recipe for a wireless access point?

that will have a built-in bridge that the wireless clients will appear 
on, DHCP etc, and will connect to the pi's physical NIC

Then you'll need to add a virtual NIC to this, for your TV software and 
connect that also to the bridge, via some local firewall rules.

Or perhaps switch-like something hanging both the bridge i/o and a 
virtual NIC on the original physical NIC, using VLAN IDs to segregate 
traffic to each?


(theoretically handwaving here, I've done the above in the OS of a 
carboot sale cheepie 50p speedtouch router, not linux)
