Sky Glass - Bluetooth input?
We have an old vinyl record player. I was thinking of trying to connect it to the Sky Glass (2nd gen) to use the soundbar. I note that I cannot connect as I did to my TV - vias optical cable. and so was thinking if I could do this via Bluetooth for rather than buying a separate bluetooth speaker. Before I purchase the required equipment and cables - does Sky Glass accept Bluetooth inputs (e.g., from a Bluetooth transmitter connected to a phono preamp).

Re: Sky Glass - Bluetooth input?
Or can I find a way to convert an analogue pre-amp signal to the HMDI eARC input?

eARC is output from a television, not input.

No, only Apple AirPlay (and its own remote control)

Typically optical audio would also be output from a television set, not input.

Re: Sky Glass - Bluetooth input?
Thinking about it, there are certainly devices which can take analogue audio together with analogue video and convert this to a digital format output over HDMI. For your purposes I don't know how a Glass television would react to receiving only an audio signal that way.
