If you can get either the TV or computer to power up automatically using a smart strip slave outlet, that is definitely the better way to go. If not, you can wire the switches as shown in my diagram.
My diagram will work for anything that uses a momentary (non-latching) pushbutton to switch on.
The only possible downside to my design is that when one is on and the other is off--if you push the button, it will toggle both of them leaving one off and the other on. The only way you should get this is if one of them powers up automatically when power is applied.
