Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I use my iPad to watch shows and I watch, sew, watch, it's rarely something I haven't seen before. I still prefer music playing instead.
I'm a listener, too. I listen to Eleanor Burns videos from her website pretty often. I also do Netflix. It's just noise to keep me company.
i have the tv more for the company than to actually watch.

before you speak THINK
T – is it True? H – is it Helpful? I – is it Inspiring? N – is it Necessary? K – is it Kind?
I don't have a tv in my sewing room yet, but I would really enjoy to listen while sewing...

Nothing to watch on TV nowadays. I prefer to put some music on my computer...usually
some smooth jazz or 70's or 80's depending on my mood and what I'm doing.
I keep mine on mainly for the noise too... Then stop and listen if something that requires my attention. Also, the noise of the tv helps mask the noise my neighbor makes working outside (mowing, splitting wood, etc). The neighbor's noise makes my dogs go nuts. They think: "Intruder Alert! Gotta bark -- LOUD and LOTS! Since several of them will go straight to the fence and bark at him incessantly, I have to bring them all inside when he is working.
I pretty much don't watch movies and I don't watch daytime tv. The tv in my sewing room is situated so you have to turn around if you're at the sewing machine to see it. It's right next to the computer though so I can watch tv while I'm doing stuff on the computer.
When I do watch a movie it's generally in the family room on the giant tv instead of on my little tv.
I mostly listen as I sew. I also keep working during all those commercials. Though my TV is in my living/great room I have my sewing cabinet in the studio facing the TV.
I have trouble having my back to a doorway when sewing. Probably due to the type of patients I dealt with.

Have fun quilting! If it isn't fun, you will miss a lot.

I sew slowly, but it's more fun to have a movie on at the same time. If I concentrate to much on the quilt I will make a mistake - my subconscious is more accurate! LOL
Listening here, too.
Jeopardy! Since I TiVo new programs, Jeopardy is perfect: I can re-listen to an episode several times in a row to "hear" the questions I missed during deep concentration paid to my quiltmaking.
Judge Judy. The incredible stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me.
Any Law & Order with Jerry Orbach. I've seen every episode so many times, I know exactly what's happening. Don't need to TiVo these: there's almost always an episode playing somewhere.
NCIS. The older episodes are in the same category as Law & Order.
