Bluetooth capabilities

I have a serviceable Bluetooth Samsung subwoofer. I am considering connecting it to a 55inch Gen 2 Skyglass TV. Is the Skyglass Gen 2 Bluetooth enabled such that I can achieve this ? Cheers

@valsyorkie1 in theory yes as this page explains https://www.sky.com/help/articles/connecting-bluetooth-devices-to-sky-glass#:~:text=Press%20Home%20on%20your%20Sky,devices%20then%20Add%20new%20device. however the output will be a simple stereo feed not filtered for a subwoofer so the result may not becwhat you expect.

@valsyorkie1

As @Chrisee says, unlike a Samsung television set the Sky Glass hardware absolutely isn't designed for a remote subwoofer, and has no way of sending only low bass signal to it while keeping the rest of the channels on the built-in drivers.

Thanks buddy that's all I need to know. Here's hoping the built in speakers are adequate.

The Gen 2 hardware is an upgrade on Gen 1: it's intended to be better than traditional flat-screen stereo drivers, but realistically cannot actually compete with actual separates.
