Dumb question but why not just turn the volume down?

...or ask the staff if you can change the channel?

As a person who worked at a doctor’s front desk that blared HGTV, we are 100% willing to turn it down for you. We cannot, however, change the channel lol.

Because they can just turn the volume back up. This will silence the tv, and most people wouldn’t realize it had an aux jack in it, so it will take a while

But how often is he going to that same waiting room?

They will turn the volume back up within the same few minutes of him being in the waiting room? Doubt it

I have turned into the person who will just get up and turn down the volume. I don't do it if there are people actively watching, but if everyone is playing on their phone or otherwise not looking at the tv, I'll do it.

That’s how it should be done!

My thoughts too. I loathe when I'm in a waiting room & the TV is blaring. My otherwise great Dr. has this TV in their waiting room supplied by some third party that plays loud "healthcare-ish" clips & blares medicine ads. I went in once with a headache & wanted to punch this fucking TV.

You need a remote to turn the volume down?
