But ver is also used for "to see" ... I see you -- Te veo
This is algo a regional thing, because I have spoken with people who use "mirar" to say they are watching TV...
I was taught to use "ver"
Estoy viendo la tele... Estoy viendo una película...
An example with "mirar" would be if you are shopping and want to tell them-
No, gracias, sólo estoy mirando...
No, thank you, I am just looking...

Mirar: See, look, gaze Ver: Watch
that's kind of it, use each one like the ones you'd use in english.
