My daughter is only 2 years old but she's not that addicted to television yet. (Thank God) 
Maybe you can work out or bargain with your kids. Let's say when they get home, they can only watch after they do their assignment. They can't do their assignment with the TV turned on. Establish a routine. Make it like a reward for them to be able to watch. If they react violently, ask them for suggestions until you reach a compromise. You have to make them understand that TV is not entirely good and can be addictive.
I hope you will work something out with your kids.
