Phonak TV Connector Different Versions

[Zebras]

@PeterH

• V1 has no on/off button, or physical volume control. No mention of Dolby either.
• V2 has an on/off button and a physical volume control.

There’s a V1.1 as well which was released after the V2 because they can’t get hold of the parts for V2.

Differences between Phonak TV Connector 1.1 and 2.0

My local Costco is now offering TV connector Version 1.1 as they can’t get Version 2 due to the chip shortage. They advised me that it (1.1) is “not as good” as V 2 but couldn’t be more specific. The price is the ubiquitous AU$130 - which is less than a third of the cost of most the Phonak TV connectors on ebay. Does anyone here know what the difference is? It looks like (on ebay) V1.1 has no top volume button… Not sure what the implications of that are. My google-fu has failed me …
