Flexfill makes them and are available in sizes up to 60", B&H carry them for about $170. For the black net be effective you will need to place the net at least two feet behind the subject and use a wide aperture on the lens (low depth) or the net will show. Keep in mind that by the time that you fit a circle in a rectangle (TV) it will not longer be 60". You probably will restricted to shoot only head shot. I would recommend the 4x6 (used horizontally) or 6x6 ScrimJim from Westcott. BTW fiberglass screening material is an inexpensive option and will drop about one stop.

On Nino's suggestion I went looking around and found this...

$57 bucks plus shipping, not too bad for a pretty huge backdrop... I can't imagine needing anything larger than this roll would give you. For the wider widths, search for "Pool Screen."

The Wescott Scrim Jims collapse as well. I don't know if that was clear or not, but I find the square/rectangular shapes much more useful than the round/oval Flexfills. Plus they tend to hold their shape better in a breeze.
