Can someone explain the ても in this sentence? どうも ありがとうございます!
最近はテレビを見ていても、番組の内容がだいたいわかるようになりました。

I can understand ています，but I don't know why it is ていても.

Answer

I see it as 見て＋いて＋も, so 見ていて＝I have been watching、も＝even, too

So you could translate it as:

'Recently I have even been watching TV, (and) I've started to understand most of the content of the programmes'

But it might depend on the wider context to translate properly :)

Answer

"Even though" when used at the end like Demo ( However ). I could be wrong but that's what I'm getting.
