¿Ves la tele?

English Translation

Do you watch TV?

Would “mires la tele” sound as natural?

You mean ‘miras’. Kind of. The narrow meanings of ‘ver’ and ‘mirar’ are respectively ‘see’ and ‘look’, but both can work for ‘watch’.

‘Mirar’ perhaps indicates a more intentional sort of watching, so I like this one better with ‘ves’, but it’s a small difference when used in this sense.
