Back in the day you could hide your 25" TV when not watching it. My LG sits atop the unit and the heart of the system can be hidden when company, or grandkids come over. Booting without a keyboard becomes moot in this case. Since finding the disharmony between the radio frequency ipazz keyboard/airmouse/IRremote and the bluetooth itek speaker, (choppy sound) I'd like to know if anyone has experience with keyboard and speaker over one bluetooth dongle? tests today prove myth will play sound through the itek via bluetooth,satisfactorily for this factory ear, but before an Amazon order goes in I'd appreciate some confirmation of potential harmony with these two types of devices and bluetooth.</div></div><br></div></div>
