Watching television programs.
Contexto cultural
The 'Večerníček' is a cultural icon. Every child knows the theme song of the little boy in a paper hat who invites them to 'dívat se na televizi' before bed. During the Ice Hockey World Championship, 'dívat se na televizi' becomes a collective national act, often done in pubs with large projectors. Christmas fairytales (pohádky) are the peak TV event of the year. Not watching them is considered almost un-Czech. The term 'bedna' (box) for TV is so common that it's used in song lyrics and literature to describe the hypnotic power of media.
The Second Position Rule
Always put 'se' as the second element in your sentence. 'Já se dívám' or 'Dnes se dívám'.
Don't forget 'se'!
Without 'se', the sentence is grammatically broken and confusing to natives.
