I may be wrong and sometimes am but I thought all you needed to add was 
edit /etc/sysctl.conf and ensure it contains "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1", 
save and reboot. Mine came with the line in there but commented out.

You need to allocate IP for ethernet and the TV manually and maybe play 
with routing.

I have it running on a PI somewhere, I'll dig it out.
