Of course not, unless your TV is "inside" the same network as your phone (read: connected to the VPN as well) then as far as both your phone and TV know they're not on the same networks. And I highly doubt there's a VPN app for your tv

What is really needed here is the same use case I am after: traffic on LAN is not routed via VPN, all non-LAN traffic is sent over VPN. I have tried modifying the .opvn file and re-importing the profile to do this, but when the server sends push route and push redirect commands, my .ovpn config seems to be overridden. Is there a good tutorial or guide to disabling VPN routing for LAN traffic (in my case the same 192.168.x.y/24 subnet is always used for LAN)?

(P.S., I tried searching for LAN here of course, but the search term is too 'common' and no search was carried out. Forum moderators, I think this should be adjusted...)
