How to use it
Ver televisión means 'to watch TV'. Use ver (not mirar) for media. Often shortened to ver la tele in casual speech.
Common mistake
Spanish drops the article: 'veo televisión', not 'veo LA televisión' (in everyday phrasing). With la tele the article returns. Both are correct; drop is more idiomatic.
