I bought an adapter to ride my bike in front of my TV in the winter, about $75-100 and worth it. Training athletes use them. Check Facebook bicycle groups, they can help inform you locally. I work out with 10 lb weights and lunges while watching TV too, for my particular case of osteoporosis. I work full time. Walk the dog 30 minutes each morning.

I too purchased the bike adapters. It certainly does not equal the feeling of the sun on your face when you are out riding, but is a must-have if you live in the midwest. I also agree with your strategy of using the TV as a distraction. Without something to 'watch' it is easy to become bored on a stationary bike. Do you have any go-to shows or genres? I found watching a TV series that has 40-minute episodes can help 'sneak' in a 5-8 mile ride in one episode.
