Which TV? To what "USB"?

Your TV needs to support recording to USB, typically a larger, USB external HDD.

If it does not, you'll need some form of capture device.

TVs, in most cases, are designed so you can't record from them. HDMI with HDCP doesn't permit recording and TVs don't have video outputs of any kind. In some countries there may be TVs with built in PVRs but not that I know of in the US,
There are external over the air tuners that have PRVs built in that record to USB.

but those won't record from the TV just from the built in tuner.
