If you are using a client - server configuration (clients in the LAN connect to the server PC) then you have to enter the Hostname or the REAL IP-Adress.

When you start the SetupTV application from the TV-Server the first time and you enter 127.0.0.1/SQLEXPRESS then you have a problem.
why?
When you start MyTV on the client the first time, you have to enter the IP-Adress of the Server. i.e. 192.168.123.10
Now the client connects to the server (192.168.123.10) and the server tells the Client the Hostname/IP-Adress) of the SQL-Server.
So if you have entered 127.0.0.1, the TV-Server will forward this adress to the Client.
Which means the Client will "think" that the SQL-Server is installed localy on the Client. so he can not connect.

Have a look @ your TV-Server installation and fin the Gentle.config. there you will find the IP-Adress you entered after the first startup.
You must enter the real IP-Adress or the Hostname.
