Hi everyone,
To those that responded - than-you.
I just updated Avast this morning (on your recommendation that this error has been corrected) and I wanted to confirm that my pc and tv are once again friends and ‘talking’ with one another. Problem has been fixed 
Thanks again.
Oh…by the way, a new version came out today and that is the one that I downloaded - Avast! Free Antivirus 9.0.2008
