Induction loop system (deaf hearing aid) on BT TV

[mikeprice]

Hi all

 

One of our staff memeber has a husband who is deaf and has a 'Loop' system to be able to hear the TV

 

they used to have Sky and it worked fine - but they have just changed to BT and the engineer who came out couldn't work out how to connect the new BT system to the 'Loop' system - so she has asked if I can help

 

It sounds as if the old Sky system had a Scart socket which connect to the 'Loop' system's USB input - nothing simple like standard audio input

 

Has anyone had any experience with these things??

 

I have a Scart to usb thingy at home that I use to convert videos to digital so I am thinking of trying that - but it seems overkill - and anyway it would need to talk correctly to the 'driver' things inside the 'Loop' system - I am assuming (possibly incorrectly) that the 'Loop' system uses the USB input like a simple sound card

 

any ideas

 

thanks

 

Mike

If you post the model of the loop amp we might be able to work something out for you?

Thanks

 

I have asked her for more images of both boxes - hopefully that will give me a clue - or I'll be able to get model/make off the image

 

but that will have to wait until tomorrow now - will post back then!
