Infrared neck loops: effect of digital switchover

[koczka]

In preparation for TV switch to digital in my area (Norfolk), at the end of last year I bought a new TV set and had an infrared neckloop installed so that I would be able to receive sound direct through a transmitter on the set in the receiver in the loop. Yesterday I did the final retune for the switch over, and the loop is of course no longer functioning. It was installed by the Sensory Support Unit, whose funding has now been severely reduced by Norfolk County Council, so it’s unlikely advice will be available from them. Information will be welcome.

I am in the same position and have upgrded to digital for the tv. I have an Infralight LR loop system and this merely plugs into the audio output sockets on the TV and have no problems with my hearing aids using the T function. Hope this is of help B.

I'm in Norfolk and wonder if its worth trying the Norfolk Deaf Association? They're lovely poeple there and if they can't help themselves, they'll find someone who can. All of their services are free so nothing to lose.
