Hey Down! We do a 2 man cast every weeknight (and sometimes bring on extra people). If you want to catch everyone's voice, I wholly suggest you pick up a Blue Yeti Mic.
This thing is great, as long as no one talks like a mouse (and it's properly configured) it will pick up everything. As for blocking out the sound of the TV - there is no way to avoid this if sound is coming out of the TV (otherwise you'll get horrible reverb). What will need to happen is that everyone will need a headset coming from the computer. (obviously you'll need to split the connection).
As for getting everyone in frame - that depends wholly on how much space you have, how far back the camera can be and if people are willing for the camera to be in front of the TV (we play with our camera in front of the TV - you eventually get use to it). We've managed to stream before with 4 people on our couch, it was rather cramped, but the camera, a Microsoft LifeCam Studio 1080p was able to mostly get us all into the frame at a range of about 2-3 feet away from us.
If you want to see all of this in action - you can check out our profile here: http://www.twitch.tv/overboredgaming/profile
Here's a VOD of 4 people on screen using the equipment I mentioned above: http://www.twitch.tv/overboredgaming/b/410879757 (skip ahead to about the 13:35 min mark).
I Hope this helps man! Happy streaming!
