If you do the photorendering with LightWave, instead of the internal engine, you have to do the settings for it too.
In the Material settings, disable the box "Disable unused controls" (well, something like this...) then open the LightWave panel, and hit the button "Match internal engine".
This is the simplest way, but you can play with a lot of settings.

For the TV object (like PlasmaTV 12), the image you want to use must be in the loaded libraries.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
