A relay is initiated by an electromagnetic coil. A 12v signal goes to the coil which changes the position of the contacts/switches. In your case the coil is de-energized/key off and the hot wire from the breaker goes through a normally closed switch over to your tv outlet. When you turn the key on the coil is energized and it pulls that switch open.
When you turn the key on does the breaker trip then? If it does then the short is between the relay and the outlet.
