For years Ginny has been bugging me to turn down the TV in the evening when she wants to sleep. I never thought it was all that loud, but that's me. Anyway, after investigating the situation (looking at the backs of all the boxes that serve as our entertainment center), I found a way to get audio out and went to Fry's and got a wireless headset. It works great. One of the unintended concequences is that I can sit at my computer and listen to my favorite news programs. I can also walk around the house and listen. I can drown out other noises, like conversation. This thing is great!
