Hi All,

I was just wondering if it's possible to connect my MacBook to my TV via Bluetooth..

I know there are a few TVs with Bluetooth coming on to the market and wondered if it's possible to connect to them and watch video from my MacBook on them.

Cheers

Rob.

Texas, where else?

I have not seen one and wouldn't expect one either. Bluetooth is a low bandwidth technology and does not have the bandwidth to adequately handle video. All the TVs I've seen are using bluetooth for their remote only.

Thanks for that.

I know that may have sounded like a stupid question, but it's the only way I'll learn:D

Not the only way. ;D

You could have done the same thing I did to answer the question.

That's to use google, find a couple of manufactuers that have Bluetooth integrated into their TVs and then read their specs to see what capabilities it has.
