I think the watching TV thing has to do with a TV connected to your WIFI network.

I've experienced what you're talking about though with the flight cards. I'm anxious so I want to know that my flight information is there and ready before I get to the airport, but Google only shows it to me 'when I need it.'

I just recently got a card that entitled 'Watch now' that has a list of shows to watch, and has a 'Listen to TV' button in the top corner. It appears that my phone can listen to the tv, and figure out what I am watching.
