You need an airplay compatible device - your Sony TV is not airplay compatible - I don't believe any TV is compatible at this time.

I would suggest you still open up the owner's manual for your TV to see what it's capabilities are for viewing media on the local network.
There is a big variance from TV to TV in this regard.

You will need an AppleTV for Airplay.

I have a new Sony Bravia TV and it works very well with the Apple TV including AirPlay.
