I use a wireless keyboard, mouse and headphones. Each has its own dongle, though there are options out there for all in one dongles. I opted not to go that route as those generally have slower signal speeds, but keep it in mind for your purchase decision if you think you may go the full wireless route someday.
For the headphones the dongle cannot be left plugged into the PC as it over-rides the normal speaker output if it is. So having easy access to the back of your PC to get to the USB ports is necessary or have extra USB ports in front of the case like my PC does.
As to the TV, I've never used mine with it but as Ranger33 states as long as it has a USB port it may work. I did install some software with my headphones when I first got them so not 100% sure they would work with a TV since no way to install software to it. My guess is its for extra bells and whistles in the headset and basic sound may not need the software to work, but that is just a guess.
As to how the headset works, the hard part is going through windows setup and getting the wireless headset set up. Use the setup wizard option for whatever version of windows you have and it should walk you through it. For me the setup wizard did not auto-run when I first installed the headset dongle, so I had some headaches trying to get them working until I remembered it and went in and ran the wizard manually.
For my headset (Corsair) I now simply plug in the dongle and a little blue light lights up on it. I then press a button on the headset and when the blue light flashes on the dongle I know the signal has connected. It then takes about 30-60 seconds or so and sound begins to work. Not sure why the lag occurs between signal connect and actual sound coming through, but it isn't too long.
