Do you mean you want to pipe all traffic from the TV out over the VPN? 
 

If so, yes: 

 

 

Lawrence had great videos. This one is one of the ones I used to set up something similar. May have to poke around a few other videos to get it all working, but this will definitely get you started.

Policy routing is a process of classifying traffic by protocol, port or IP address and performing an action accordingly.

The default policy for example is to send all LAN traffic over the default WAN.

For example a snipped of my Firewall, Rules, LAN page:

The bottom rule will be similar to your, it basically says that for any source IP address (LAN client) aiming at any destination (somewhere not on the LAN, ie Internet) send it over the Failover Gateway (I have multiple ISPs).

Or for any source client IP listed under the Firewall, Aliases, Streamers get sent over my primarily ISP Zen.

 

You'd probably also need a Firewall, NAT, Port Forward to redirect DNS traffic from your TVs IP address to the VPNs DNS server, instead of pfSense itself.

Example:
