How do you now the Fremen don't have TVs? They could be hiding a lot out in the desert...

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I heard that Hans Zimmer actually invented instruments to make some of the sounds he wanted on the score. But, obviously, when he wanted to signify existential dread and the doom that awaits all mankind at the end of our sad, miserable lives, bagpipes were right there.

It’s explicitly stated in the text. NO TV. It’s one of the Fremen’s chief grudges hence universal genocide.

why is the Emperor so interested in creating chaos? Why did he set up House Atreides to fail?

I asked a buddy about this, he's read the books. He explained that:

Spoiler: show

Duke Atreides is very popular and very powerful, so the Emperor wants him gone. And unlike House Atreides, the Harkonnens would never be accepted by the other houses as rulers; but that they do make useful killers.

Simple enough I guess.

They’ve spent thousands of years executing a breeding program to produce Space Jebus to save the human race from its inevitable self-destruction. They are finally one generation away from producing him and Jessica derails it by giving Leto a son and heir instead of the daughter she was instructed to produce. Said daughter would’ve bred with a Harkonnen to produce Jebus.

Jessica is pregnant with a daughter at the moment but…stay tuned.
