For an Orthodox Jew, the answer would be definitely no. On Yom Kippur, the same restrictions on 'work' are in effect as on Shabbat (the sabbath) - that means no electricity, which is forbidden as it has the same effect as kindling fire.
For a Reform Jew, the answer is also probably no, unless there's a darn good reason. After all, Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is a solemn occasion for reflecting on your sins over the past year and apologizing for them to God and those whom you hurt with them. Watching TV would not really be in the spirit of the day.
Many Jewish people refrain from activities such as watching TV on Yom Kippur, as it is a solemn day of fasting, prayer, and reflection. Observing individuals often choose to disconnect from entertainment and focus on the spiritual significance of the holiday.

While watching TV or using the computer are not explicitly forbidden, it is advised to engage in more spiritually uplifting activities and reduce distractions during this sacred month. It's important to use fasting as an opportunity for reflection, worship, and self-improvement.
There is no strict rule in Buddhism that prohibits watching TV. However, Buddhists are encouraged to be mindful of their actions and choices, including the content they consume.

Yom Kippur (Leviticus ch.23) is the Jewish day of repentance, considered to be the holiest and most solemn day of the year. Its central theme is atonement and reconciliation. Eating, drinking, washing, cosmetics, wearing leather shoes, and conjugal relations are prohibited (Mishnah, Yoma 8:1). Fasting - total abstention from all food and drink - usually begins a half an hour before sundown (called "tosefet Yom Kippur," the "addition" of fasting a bit of the previous day is required by Jewish law), and ends during the following twilight. A recurrent motif in the Yom Kippur liturgy is that of confession (vidui). The idea is that without soul-searching and verbal articulation of one's misdeeds, there can be no real personal improvement. An important feature of Yom Kippur is the belief that true repentance (regret for past misdeeds and a commitment to future improvement) is followed by God's forgiveness. Of course, in cases when another person has been harmed that person's forgiveness needs to be obtained first. Contrary to popular belief, Yom Kippur is not a sad day. Sephardic Jews (Jews of Spanish, Portuguese and North African descent) refer to this holiday as "the White Fast." Consequently, many Jews have the custom of wearing only white clothing on this day, to symbolize the "white": striving towards purity from sin, akin to angels. Yom Kippur is considered the most holy of Jewish holidays and its observance is held even among the majority of secular Jews who may not strictly observe other holidays. Many secular Jews will fast and attend synagogue on Yom Kippur, and attendance on Yom Kippur can be double or triple the normal number of worshipers. In Israel, public non-observance (such as eating or driving a motor vehicle) is virtually unheard of. Yom Kippur there has the nickname "Festival of Bicycles," referring to children's practice of freely riding their bicycles in the streets without motor vehicles presenting danger. In Israel on Yom Kippur there is no broadcast television, no public transportation and the airports are closed. There is no commerce of any kind in the Jewish areas.
