Watching tv/ going to watch tv

Hello everybody.
Here is my question.

Why is it right to write the future with going to or i am/are/is 't right for the verb " to watch"?
I'm watching tv sounds more like present
but I'm meeting him is future.
I'm going to watch tv = I'm going to meet him

(Sorry for my english) Help me please it is killing me

Future actions can be expressed in several ways in English, including: - "going to" + verb - will + verb - present continuous. With the present continuous, the context should clarify whether the action is in the present or the future. g, I'm watching TV.
