I don't quite understand your question--is this an experiment you want to do? You could, for example, compare heart rate while watching tv versus reading. I imagine it would depend on the topic of the show they're watching.
Try going to Google Scholar and searching for "watch television heart rate." I found a couple of articles that might point you in the right direction.
