So... not sure if anyone needs it now, but what causes the TV to soft lock the game is when you read the dairy before turning on the TV. I figured this out in my playthrough of the game for my youtube channel. The diary is your cue to end the day, so it needs to be the last thing you do. if you read the diary before you turn on the TV the game doesn't seem to know what to do with it and soft locks.

Weird, for me it was the diary thing for sure. The first 2 times I wrote in the diary and soft locked when I tried to watch the show. The 3rd time I skipped the diary until I was done with everything else in the house and had no issues with the TV show. Always dash was on for me too for what that's worth.
