I LOVE your sexual happiness scale. I completely understand where you are coming from. Further, I know that even though I am completely exhausted, frustrated about work etc... that my body would also "spring to life" if he showed an interest. I am experiencing considerably lowered libido right now but I am not sure if it is because of my physical exhaustion or just being tired of piloting the good ship "Marital Relations." My H also finds tv relaxing (he likes the same junk that your H does) but he finds my reading while he watches to be distracting - he experiences it as "distancing" and gets uncomfortable. Does it bother your H?
