Or you can turn on the TV. It's your choice. Just like you chose to write "What evidence is there of that?". You weren't fated to write that.

The question is not whether one has choice, but about the mechanisms that leads one to choose one or the other.

One can choose to go jogging, but one can't choose to have the motivation to choose to go jogging.
