Hi Bea, I have used Tv ears for over 5 years. I have had 2 pair break . I found them soso. I tried several different head phones, Sony RCA Sennheiser. All were not to my satisfaction. Then I bought Sennheiser 830-TV they are like TV ears but about 1000% better. They are more costly but well worth the price. Clearer sound excellent volume control Easy and softer on your ears. Being wireless makes the set up a snap.I hope this helps you. I got mine on Amazon. If you no like send them back for a full refund.

I owned TV Ears and they lasted less than 1 year. Have had 830s for over 2years and replaced one battery. Battery is expensive around 50 dollars. Sound adjustment for 830s much better suited to for hearing impaired. Liked enough to have ordered second pair, so I would always have a back up.

I haven't used the TV ears, so can't comment on those. We use our Sennheiser on a digital flat screen TV. It connects to the analog audio (headphone) output and works like a charm.

I found the sound on the Sennheiser to be higher quality than TV ears. I have used it on digital cable programming and it works just fine.

Not with mine. Got to use analog audio desperately. That's disappointing... still, great picture quality, so it is worth it.

Yes. There is really no such thing as an HD TV antenna. The type transmission did not change only the content. Forget the antenna manufactures hype. An old antenna will work with new HD digital TVs and the so called new HD antennas will work with the old analog TVs.Remember, this antenna will have to be connected to a digital to analog converter box for your old TV to work.

Yes will work with your Analog set today and will also work with your future LCD HDTV set. Dont know when you are planning to buy the HDTV in future. If it is 1 yr from now then i would suggest you buy a very simple 40-50$ DVD player for your analog right now. The reason i suggest is that in a year's time the HD DVD player would become quite cheaper (hoping) and you will be better off to purchase a HD Player for your HDTV and not a upconverting DVD player. Hope this helps!

Yes. I use it digital in one location and analog in another. Both locations work perfectly.

The Antenna will still work, there is no difference between a digital and Analog antenna, but you will still need a digital tuner, either built into you tv, or a seperate convertor box.

I think it will get both analog and digital, however we only have digital signals here so I can't be certain.

The local channels have all gone to digital, and if you have a digital tv, this antenna picks up the local stations. It will NOT convert an older tv (analog) to a digital. You still need a digital converter for that.

Thanks for the kind response. Unfortunately, none of the efforts resulted in this TV to scan all digital and analog channels under the same "digital and analog channel search" function.Amazon.com support was excellent in sending a new replacement with just a simple phone call, as this unit apparently has a faulty tuner.

It works. I use an earlier version for TV all the time. But depending on your lack of hearing, the aid may not be completely satisfactory. It's one's ears that are the problem, not the device.

It has a function to search channels, and once they are found, you can use rather the remote control or the TV buttons to navigate them.Depends where you are locate or the service you have hired it will be the amount of channels you will have. all the channels will be found are going to be digital. In my country - Costa Rica - I get 4 which are digital. There channels analogs are not shown at all.

There's NO SUCH THING as a digital antenna. TV is broadcast by radio waves. It makes NO DIFFERENCE to the antenna if the waves are modulated in digital or old style analog, they're still just radio waves. The digital decoding happens inside the TV, not in the antenna. ANY TV antenna will work. Your reception will depend on how good the antenna is, where it's placed, & how far the TV stations are. Beware those flat or mini antennas are designed for only UHF frequency reception & will not pick up VHF stations well unless they're real strong & you're real close to the station. Except for a large attic or rooftop UHF/VHF antenna, the only other antennas designed to do well with the VHF TV frequencies will be your old fashioned rabbit ears antennas. So look up what frequencies the stations in your area are broadcasting on. In many areas, they're all on the UHF bands but not always, & you can't tell by the channel number. In my area, channel 67, which has 4 great sub-channels actually broadcasts on the old VHF channel 7 frequency. Rabbit ears pick it up, but no small or flat antenna would. Meanwhile channel 7, the ABC affiliate in my area, actually broadcasts on the old UHF channel 38 channel frequency. Don't buy into "digital optimized" or "digital ready antennas" it's meaningless sales jargon. On the air TV still just radio waves. You just need a good antenna that will pick up the frequencies in your area. A big attic or rooftop antenna will get a lot more stations, than an indoor one. But if you live near a city where all the big networks are within a few miles, a cheap simple antenna might be good enough. But get rabbit ears if any of them still broadcast on the VHF TV band. Usually extending them no more than 15"-18" is good enough for VHF. If all your stations are near, & on UHF frequencies, just hang one of those little or flat "digital" antennas on a window or wall.

If your TV has a built-in tuner to receive digital broadcasts, the antenna should work. If your TV does not have a digital tuner, you will almost definitely get nothing. Digital capability is also know as ATSC. Old analog-only "cable ready" sets did not have ATSC tuners. In the U.S., there are some cities that have a few low-power analog channels still being broadcast, but that is rare and all the major channels are only broadcast digitally now.

If you use the optical output you can get 5.1 possibly 7.1 but it does not do that with analog.

Digital = optical or coaxial , Optical Digital is better . or you can use RCA

Pretty much all modern TVs have built-in turners now, including digital channel tuners. For digital reception you just need to get a digital rabbit ear style receiver. Otherwise with cable you just need to plug in the cable without a box.

yes..the 3.0 has been discontinue for the 5.0.. but I use the 3.0 base with the 2.3 headset..they can fill you in more if you call the 800 number for tv ears
