My TV is almost on in the background but it is rare for me to actually stop
what I am doing and watch it. I get annoyed when I go to my mom's place
because she expects us to sit and watch TV while she plays on her Ipad. She
has cable but it's some funky package that has none of the channels I would
normally watch. I guess they think seniors have limited interests or
something.
