My family has a really big problem with watching drama serials and listening to songs on T.V.
My mother and sister continuously watch Hindi Drama serials (which show uncovered females, and awful background music). My sister also listen to songs on television on B4U Music(A channel specifically for Bollywood songs). My dad also gets caught up in this. The worst part is, its perfectly fine and normal with them, its happens [B]every[B] night and nobody is realizing that what there doing is haram.
This all happens in the living room where we have a huge flat-screen TV. For this reason, I usually stay upstairs to avoid the sinning. But the problem is the my parents call me downstairs to the living room to sit with them, or for dinner (which we eat with the TV blasting in front of us). So If I stay upstairs I will be sinning (disobedience to parents) and I if I go downstairs to help my parents (where the TV and songs are blasting 24/7) I will be sinning.

I want to serve my parents and earn good deeds, but Im reluctant to do that since I will fall into the sin of music and television etc...

Any Advice?

MY advice to you ,don't directly jump to that don't watch T.V it's haram.It is something like you are walking on a road telling a non-muslim you will thrown into hell on the day of judgement.what will be his expression ?either he will laugh at you or get angry on you.
First try to divert their mind from those hindi drama to any other informative channels (science,any cooking channels).Stat playing games with them.let involve them so much they forget their hindi drama timings.Slowly introduce the islamic knowledge,ill effects,punishment for watching such thing.Be patient.It may months but might work.
But if you want shortcut,cut the cable wire without informing them see their anxiety.(This is what one of my friend did ,and their parents cursing the cable operator why he cut the netwrk,we have payed monthly charge.She was very happy that day,but works for few days,her brother identified wire cut by her)
