How it's used

This phrase is the standard way to refer to watching television, regardless of whether the content is broadcast live or streamed on a television set. Unlike English where one might say watch a show, Cantonese speakers often use this as a general activity label even when referring to specific programs. It is perfectly acceptable to insert aspect markers like 咗 or 緊 directly after 睇 to indicate completed or ongoing actions.
