Wow!  Wish I'd gotten this sooner!
Little did I know what I was missing for the past 3 years.  It got harder for me to hear the television in our open floor-plan, so I decided to try the Phonak TVLink II out.  It sound just like being in a movie theater!  I can now hear all the sounds I've been missing, and the stereo sound is incredible.  Although my optical cable didn't work with my TV (even though I got a red light coming from it), I tried the Red/White sound out connection, and it works GREAT!  Wish I knew about this sooner.
