Some people must have failed basic high school physics. Simple fulcrum and lever formula. The wheels would be the fulcrum.
To expand a little on Wad's post, it's the relationship of the center of gravity to the axles. Adding or moving tare moves the CG. If the CG is right over the axles there is no pin weight (balanced). Move the CG forward and the pin weight will increase.
As to having enough TV, even a HDT towing a rig with insufficient pin weight will find the trailer swaying. It may not move the TV around because of its weight but the view in the mirror wouldn't be pretty.
