This was never tested, so not directly supported but it may work ;)

So you need only flexible content, right?

The whole page is blank or only FCE?

Usually when you use tv, you must do two things:
- add "css styled content" template (if it is missing you see blank screen)
- change PAGE object to tv's USER object

Not without using TV for pages at the moment because TV does not
register FCE as content element but processes it directly inside its pi1
class. I am not sure what is the reason behind this :(
