It depends on what you're watching. If you watch a Horror movie that frightens you, then your heart rate will rise the same as it would in any other situation that frightens you. Likewise, watching something that you find relaxing will lower your heart rate, just like any other situation that you find relaxing. The TV itself has no intrinsic effect.
