It is selfish indeed in my opinion, however the other side of the coin is you must also make them aware of your concerns
and of the reasons why too - otherwise they wil never know.

simple move out of the room elsewhere - there are zillion things to do apart from tv.

watch what is useful - i.e news, documenteries to say the least but all else is mostly a waste of ones time.

100 % true one must find that balance - sangat of Gursiks, seva in Gurdwara, are just on paar as is daily abhyiaas of naam and Gurbani. On top of that you must measure yourself of where you are going in life , are u stuck in the same old pattern, many of us are stuck in mundane patterns and never break out.Are yoy reading more saakhis , learning Gursikhe living as well as paath and naam abyiaas? - are you making some kind of contributin to soceity in general? Being aware is of utmost importance of where one is going - there are simple steps but we must adhere to simple truths to progress.

I agree T.V is a disease - however it's also is not if used correctly with awareness.
