    I'm considering buying a Wi-Fi enabled TV. It appears they all use 802.11N Dual Band Wireless Networking. My wireless router has 802.11b/g Mode only. Will I need a 802.11N router?

    I doubt it (though having n is certainly better). Your new TV's n connection should downgrade to b/g as required.

    Of course if you post the model/manufacturer of the TV we could offer more precise advice ;)

    80211n wireless adapters are backward compatible with 80211g. The tv will be equipped with an internal wireless adapter. It will work with your router.
