At the moment according to the FAQS of Google TV,

Question: Can I install Android applications from a URL? (since there is no Android Market)

Answer: Application downloads are not officially supported. Only pre-installed applications are available at present.

http://code.google.com/tv/web/faq.html#installandroidapps

So you cannot install your applications or download other applications from the Market at the moment. You can only use the already installed applications in Google TV.
