I think it's generational. My Dutch parents also have the TV on all evening (although, much less so since retirement). I would always make sure the first thing I did was mute the thing when I visit, because I simply can't have a conversation with a TV shouting over everything.
My generation, few even have a TV. We're one of the few with one in the living room (hooked up to a laptop though), and I think I haven't turned it on in a month now?
