my alienware has a hotkey for it (func+f4) but you should be able to make it so that you can display your tv as your main and your laptop screen as the backup. simply right click the desktop, go to properties, then click on the settings tab. above (or near) the screen resolution slider you should see a picture of 2 monitors. simply click on the one that represents your tv (the second monitor) and select set as my primary display blah blah thingy. then it should swith over.
