This is a real, "wtf, Abby?" to me. If she can't fix the problem on her end, she may have to give up her activity, which is just as important as his tv watching, during the hours that he is home? Oh, hell, no. Husband needs to learn the word, "compromise." This may involve him watching on a laptop and using headphones, or the two of them splitting the time between, "together watching something mutually agreeable" and "apart both doing our thing," or some technological solution that allows him to use headphones with the tv.
(Icon used, btw, because NCIS came to represent this problem between spouse and me. He complained about me being on the computer while we were together in the evening, but insisted on watching shows that I either no longer had any interest in or had grown to actively dislike. He eventually saw the light when the small fanperson started watching things he hated. I, of course, in turn had the same problem with her. No, I am not giving my full and undivided attention to Henry Danger.)
