VR becoming the new TV is highly unlikely because many people multitask while watching TV. this is very difficult to do with VR.

I was thinking more of TV in the way it captured audiences in the 50s, 60s, 70s. You're probably right though that AR has a bigger chance of capturing something like the way TV is interacted with today (a background activity).

You could multitask in VR, without even anyone noticing?

How can you wash dishes while your entire view field is covered by some movie?

I was more thinking about the "second screen" multitasking that's quite common. With VR, the second screen is like build-in.
