The consumption of the TV is irrelevant to the rating of the
fuse in the plug. The TV should have its own internal overcurrent
protection, matched to its actual consumption.

I don't think I'd go *that* far

That is a requirement for appliances, where an internal fault
which draws excess current would otherwise result in an unsafe
condition (such as fire or explosion risk). A TV is not allowed
to rely on an external fuse for it to remain safe during an
internal fault.
