Well, I am not going to run out and replace all this expensive equipment because of this issue. Eventually, I would like to get a new TV, because the new ones are going to have to be accessible starting next year. So for now, although it is a pain in the butt, I will either have to turn something on in the background so that I can actually use voiceover. Or I will have to find some Bluetooth solution that I can turn off when I don't need voiceover. It really is absolutely unusable with the set up as it is now without one of these two things being in play. Mary
