Thanks for the good link that was finally sent.  So, for those interested… 

The fix was two part…

- Make sure your network is set to "Private"
With AVG Internet Security open, select:
Hacker Attacks
Firewall Options
Network Profiles
Select your  network and select "'Private" from the dropdown list


- Turn on "Internet Connection Sharing Mode".
With AVG Internet Security open, select:
Privacy
Settings (the gear in the upper right)
Full Protection
Select the checkbox for"Internet Connection Sharing Mode"

It is the firewall that is blocking it

Reinis, disabling Firewall isn't the solution provided.
It was done to check and confirm whether it is the reason behind the issue.
We request you to change the network profile in AVG Internet Security and check the status.
Refer this article (https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=Use-AVG-Enhanced-Firewall) and follow the steps as mentioned under 'Define Network profiles'.
Change the profile to private if it was set as public. Later, check the status with connection to your TV.
Keep us apprised.
