Visits to the in-laws were like that. During the day it was either CNBC or Fox Business, then later on it was Fox News, if there wasn't an old movie on that my FIL was interested in.

At home we usually have something on if my wife is home. One time when we didn't -- or we just didn't unmute after a commercial -- younger child's GF commented to them that my wife and I were just sitting there in silence, which seemed a little eerie.

When my wife is at work I have more often than not turned the TV off, as I use that time to read. If I happen to be on the computer though and not reading I might have something on in the background.

So, to sum up: if it's just me, don't necessarily need TV. If it's not just me, TV is good to avoid the impression of awkward silence.
