The gist is that I can read faster than the person on TV speaks. I read the line, and then I can go back to reading my book. When the person is done saying the line I just read, I read the next line on the tv, rinse and repeat. If they stop talking I know I need to look because something other than dialogue is about to happen.
I don’t understand how you read the subs while looking away. Or are they listening to something else while watching the screen?

Good for you and all, but aren’t you interested in the acting? the way the lines are delivered?
No I hate tv, it’s the worst medium for me. I just watch out of social obligations, I have people who like the medium and want to talk to me about it.
That is some impressive reading and multitasking skills! Fair play 😄
