I avoid TV like the plague but I work on them so there is some exposure.
If ETs were picking up our TV signals, what would they think ?
That we are depressed, incontinent diabetics. That our main function in life is to get an automobile, get into a wreck, sue somebody and be stupid enough to take an annuity for a settlement. But you can get the cash now, for a fee. And that's just from the commercials.
Then there's the news, and not even getting to the content, the co-anchor nodding up and down as the other speaks. Why do they even bother ? That kind of forced body language is so obvious that it surely only works on people who would just believe them anyway. And then the content. Crime everywhere, even in the government.
Then the soap operas. One would hope they know that those are fiction, but wouldn't that fiction be reflective of those who create and consume it ? So everybody is lying and conniving and scamming one another.
Thus we have the court shows. I need not say more on that subject.
Technologically though, all these waves projecting from the Earth form a virtual sphere of garbled, very hard to decode information, but an advanced technology could do it. They could do a flyby and adjusting for the Doppler effect, pickup all of our signals ever since radio was invented in a very short time. Of course the most recent would be closest to the Earth. If they wanted that they could probably get close enough to see a few things for themselves.
I would keep right on going. In fact my Dad says that we may well be defectives of another race left here to burn out our aggressive tendencies. I wonder if he realizes that would mean that this planet is akin to a prison, or a mental ward.
He is not the only one either.
