I think that trainers can be boring, if you go too long without variances in the workout. For example if you get on the bike and pedal at 82.5 RPM for 3 hours, yeah it's going to get boring. To make it less boring you need a shorter workout with more variance, that could mean starting off slow and building up, it could mean taking breaks, it could mean throwing in some sprints, cranking the resistance so you need to use a low gear to "climb". By varying the workout, it's a lot less boring, even though the scenery doesn't change. Put on some music or watch a video at the same time, if you think it's still boring.
