Widex TV Play questions

Just connected my Widex TV Play to my Widex Moment HAs . Great to hear all conversations on TV program!

However, it does drain my HA batteries much quicker.

My question: the TV sound streams through to my HAs 100% of the time if I’m within 100’ of the TV. Even when I’ve muted the TV remote.

Is there an easy way to pause the streaming to have a quick conversation. Additionally, it’s there an, or best practice, easy way to turn it off/on?

Would it work if you turned Bluetooth off via the app?

I went into (iphone) settings & turned off Bluetooth. That did stop streaming. However, to turn streaming back on required turning on Bluetooth & restarting my HAs. Not that big of a deal, just thought there would be a quick & simple process, like a pause button. Maybe not.

Someone else may be able to advise. You don’t want to need to restart your hearing aids every time you listen/talk to people with you. Is there a volume control for tv play, could you turn volume right down or pause tv. I can understand you wanting to hear what’s happening around you.

Use the app to quickly switch out of TV Play and into Universal etc., then back when you want to stream again… or use HA button to switch programs.
