OMG...the pro I go to at Costco never mentioned that my Bernefon can stream with TV. Although my Samsung phone has an app for the aid, I've had no luck making it work to enhance phone conversations. When I had an older IPhone, the phone app worked well, and it also worked to bring map directions directly into my ear, but, so far, the Samsung does neither. It's all royally confusing, due to the various manufacturers of aids, phones, etc., each of whom does "their own thing." I'm working up to making an appt. with the woman at Costco to "ketchup" on some of the tech stuff that I obviously don't understand well enough. It's made more complex because I have zero/zip/nada cell reception at home and have been totally unsuccessful in utilizing the landline/'net modem's WiFi. I've yet to find a tech who can even comprehend that there are places without cell reception...too strange a concept for the guys in the cities.

@joyces for those who live on the remote edge of the continent, as you do with a mountain range between you and the big cities, having poor "reception" is common. Have you asked others who live in your area "which provider gives them more reliable service and bandwidth?" When I have lived on the remote edge in FL, elevation of the receptor really helped.. that is being upstairs above the ground level of my house really helped catch the Cell phone signal.. the frequencies used by cell phones are essentially "line of sight".. and ground cover of heavy vegetation doesn't help get reflective signals .... If you have cable TV internet vs regular Land line internet you are more able to get a better signal.. Some businesses in your area probably do heroic things to get a good internet and Cell phone signal.. Ask around what works best..
