If I understand this correctly, you'd need to do it this way:
(I cannot guarantee this would work).
MBP --> TB cable into TB display's input --> TB to hdmi cable from the TBD display into the TV's input.
This of course, is assuming this can work at all.
Thanks! Will try that out.
Although i guess that will loose the hubbing ability of the display? Ethernet, usb etc

What is really going to rub folks the wrong way, we suspect, is that the Thunderbolt Display is not configured to work with a miniDP display plugged in to its Thunderbolt port. It wouldn't be surprising if more than one user with an existing 27" Cinema Display or other miniDP display got a Thunderbolt-equipped Mac and ordered a Thunderbolt display expecting to be able to add the miniDP display at the end of the chain.
Adding a miniDP display at the end of the chain works with other Thunderbolt peripherals that have downstream ports, so it's not a technical limitation of the spec. Why Apple added this limitation we cannot say, but it could be construed as a move designed to sell more $999 Thunderbolt displays. A more unfortunate side effect, we believe, is that not working according to the spec will add consumer confusion and hamper what is beginning to be a wider rollout of the technology in the PC industry.
UPDATE: The truth may even be stranger still. Apple's KB article unequivocally states that "Mini DisplayPort displays will not light up if connected to the Thunderbolt port on an Apple Thunderbolt Display." However, Macworld Labs honcho James Galbraith was able to get a 27" Cinema Display to work by connecting it to a downstream port on a Promise Pegasus R6 RAID. In other words, when the chain was configured as MacBook Air > Thunderbolt Display > Pegasus RAID > 27" Cinema Display, all four worked as expected.
Though this at least demonstrates that it is possible to drive a miniDP display connected to a Thunderbolt Display, it still looks like a needlessly confusing limitation to require another Thunderbolt device in the chain. Furthermore, why it doesn't work when directly connected is yet another mystery.
