Guys...I really don't know what you mean when you talk abut a TV using 220v.
On a 120v line you have a hot side and a neutral (0 volts) side. On a 240
line you have two hot sides.....believe me it will let the smoke out of yur
power supply filters.

If a TV requires 120 Watts of power, you could power it with 120V, 1 Amp
or 240V, 0.5A.
