@patrascan I'm glad that works for you!
TV helped me learn to read before I started going to school (via captioning use by Deaf family members) & my Deaf parent used it to help combat loneliness in areas without a strong Deaf community.
I usually have the TV on as background noise when reading, it seems to help me focus somehow. I blame my 'tism for that, lol.
I like the idea of "all things in moderation, including moderation" myself.
