But my mute would, what's your point? Was my generalization too much too fast? Besides, I rarely take phone calls, except from my wife, who is usually by my side and not calling me, and if she were calling me, bettern than 99% of the time *I* wouldn't be in front of a tv. But that's just me. Using your ipad situation, I would probably hit mute so my friend could answer his call while moving to another area of my house to use the phone and I could resume my media consumption. Just me.

Your TV having a pause will have no effect in the situation I described, where the movie is playing on the iPad.
