I wanted this as a new topic so that it would maybe get new ideas.
I have a 27" Samsung HDTV fed by a rooftop digital HD antenna (King Controls Jack). The TV has no audio output of any kind. I want a headphone jack installed. A TV shop that has done warranty work for me in the past will do it, but he says it normally runs $130-$150 because of having to use an isolation transformer (which is in itself a problem in finding the correct one to use). That is option A.
I could replace the TV with one that has audio output and move up to a 32" set, and that would run about $250 with no worries about the hot chassis issue. That is Option B.
I could find a "black box" that would go in-line with the coax output of the Jack antenna, passing the audio and video through to the TV, and splitting off an audio feed which could go to a set of wireless headphones. In a previous thread, Gary RV Roamer suggested a Tuner Box made by Sabrent as a possibility. The problem with this is that it only works with analog signals and not digital. You have to dig to discover this as it is not advertised. Amazon has this item and says it is analog only. If I could find the magical "black box" that would work with digital signals, that would be Option C.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill
