Wireless Headphones

[dogstyler]

We just got our Fios bundle installed.  My wife likes to watch TV while I am trying to sleep...is there a way to connect wireless headphones to the HDDVR?

Thanks for your help

Yeah it you can plug it into the RCA port. Best way to do that is to get a RCA to stereo 1/4 jack

what is a RCA to stereo 1/4 jack ---  is that a type of adaptor that plugs into the RCA port of the HDDVR; to which I plug a wireless sending

device into?

Sorry I mean stereo to RCA

Tim, thanks for your help... 

then the wireless sending unit would plug into the stereo to RCA adaptor.

I thought the sending units for the headphones were USB -- could the usb port on the HDDVR be used or should I look for the sending unit that plugs into the RCA adaptor?

No, the USB port is not fuctiononal on the set-top boxes

The USB port on the STB does not work, it is not active. You would need to get a wireless headphone system that has RCA, or stereo jack and get that adaptor. You would plug in the wireless receiver into the RCA jack directly or via the adaptor.

Thanks Tim for your help. 

Now I think I am ready to go shopping  for the headphones setup.
