When TV is not on either crate him in that room OR teach him to do something (like "go to bed") and have him do that thereby giving him a job to do. If the TV is loud, turn it down.
I would opt for a Plastic crate (so it is like a den) and putting him in that while you are watching TV.
Another thought is leaving the TV on all of the time for awhile so it simply becomes back ground noise.
