There was a short article (extract from T3N typo3 magazine) by Robert 
Lemke explaining how to use TV API to insert content elements when using TV.

The reason for your problem is that TV simply does not know where to put 
your content elements. You must use TV API and provide a pointer to the 
right place. TV API will do the rest including TCEMAIN calls.
