For what it's worth, I have a sibling, and never really got the "TV as background" thing: I could sometimes read while it was on, but not always. And now I don't have one, and am boggled by adults who leave the television on in the bedroom all the time, and have trouble sleeping in a room without one. But since I'm not trying to sleep in the same room with them, I can file it under "People Are Weird." (Watching television isn't weird. Being unable to sleep without a television on is weird.)
