Everyone wants a quick answer.
The real answer is this: It takes time. It takes hours of listening. It can be passive listening (while jogging) or listening attentively, but it still requires that slight effort of listening.
Stop switching channels. Settle down and listen for 15 minutes. How many words did you catch?
Also, work on your written English.

My native language is English, but I've had this problem with other languages I've tried to learn and it really is frustrating. It's hard to keep your interest in something when you can't understand what's going on.

You have to find something interesting and stick with it. An alternative idea would be to go to Deutsche Welle and listen to a news broadcast or a segment in English, then listen to the broadcast in the language of your choice. They have twenty language choices.
Do you really want to learn? Are you ready to put in the time?

Most TV shows have closed captioning. If your TV supports it -- most modern ones do -- then you can turn it on and watch the show with closed captioning, which is basically a form of subtitles.

Maybe you need some information on informal pronunciation, eg that t's are often pronounced as glottal stops, which makes some words hard to catch for foreigners.
