Answer
Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ?The remorse in the heart (over a sin) is Tawbah.?
If you feel remorseful for your sins, that is a stepping stone for Tawbah. Nevertheless, you should continue making Tawbah as much as possible. Together with that, make a firm determination not to repeat the sin. You should never be fooled by the ploy of Shaytaan to commit any wrong and later make Tawbah. Certainly, that is not a sign of sincerity in repentance. To watch tv is a sin and not permissible.
