I don't know if there is a way to compile it without TV
support. But the Frontend will work for all other modules
without a frontend to connect to.

If you don't want a TV menu option in the main menu you can
try to edit the theme.xml file in the directory of your
favorite theme.  

Commenting out the buttondef should do the trick. This should
look something like this: 

<buttondef name="TV">
    <image>watch_tv.png</image>
    <offset>20,10</offset>
</buttondef>

I don't know if this works, though. Maybe the buttons are defined
elsewhere.
