There's one more possible solution.  If you're not averse to opening up the TV
set, you can wire a relay to open the speaker circuits (there are two) when the
doorbell rings.  There are inexpensive wireless doorbells that can be rigged to
trigger a low current relay.  Total project cost should be under $150.
