[mythtv-users] Tablets and hearing aids with bluetooth

[Richard Morton]

You could watch myth TV using torch for IOS, and pair the Bluetooth device
with the tablet a long as they are presented as Bluetooth head phones I
presume.

So, options are:

add a Bluetooth dongle to your myth frontend and use pulse audio sound
server to output to both speakers and the Bluetooth device.whatever is
playing on your main TV through myth TV would be able to be listened to on
the hearing aid and by others on the room on normal speakers.

option 2, use a tablet but the audio would be whatever is playing on the
tablet.

Hope that helps
