Personaly, I would go for a resolution around 3 to 5 times the TV resolution's. This
will enable the 
producter to zoom in on some details if wanted. The effective screen aspect ratio is
4:3, even it 
the displayed pixels are not square, and your image's pixels probably don't need to
match the 
camera' ones.
Ask the productor how your images will be used: directly? printed and shown with a
camera? What 
dimentions are the best? TV stations have some prety cool image manipulation softwares
and 
hardwares. Those can do all sort if format convertions and manipulations.
