SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers around the controversy of DogTV, a television channel designed for stay-at-home dogs. Critics argue that the concept is flawed, emphasizing that dogs require physical exercise and olfactory stimulation, which DogTV cannot provide. The notion that visual stimulation through television can satisfy a dog's needs is dismissed as "biological nonsense." Overall, the sentiment is that DogTV may lead to frustration rather than enrichment for dogs.

Honestly? That belongs into the Weird News thread. It is a silly idea and biological nonsense. The main needs for any dog is to smell and to exercise and neither can be addressed this way. And even if the dog likes to "see", it will constantly be frustrated with the impossibility to interact otherwise. IMO this is a bit like:
hence torture.
