Very unlikely as these dongles require software to be loaded onto your computer in order for you to connect to your devices.

If you want to stream things, you should look into something like a Google Chromecast

Oldman · Answer

Remember this is a transmitter that sends out bluetooth signal.
You need to buy a bluetooth receiver and install to convert a system to
bluetooth to receive it.

Hayden · Answer

Unfortunately, no. Unless your TV has capabilities not available on the current market, it just was not meant to function in that manner.

BrandonB · Answer

The TV would have to have windows. The adapter has to be connected to a device with windows vista, 7, 8, or 8.1

Hazy · Answer

NO. It is meant to make a computer Bluetooth capable

"Things" as in music? Most likely, yes. There's probably a way to make it work.

But Bluetooth doesn't have a high enough bitrate to stream videos or more sophisticated stuff... and your television probably wouldn't know how to decipher the signal anyway.

Look into a Chromecast or Roku stick instead.

TheInnocentBystander · Answer

Probably not. Remember, the device this is connected to has to be able to run the drivers required to make it work. I highly doubt a TV will be able to do that.

wkjo · Answer

No you need a computer to run the install program

There are a lot of 'if'y' factors in that question. 1. Depends on the manufacturer (and age), of the TV itself. Samsung or LG, last 2-3 years, probably so. 2. Depends on your computer and if it can stream out, MacBook Pro, yes. Dell Inspiron, no. 3. Depends on your distance from the T.V. Best bet is to check with all of the manufacturers involved to see if the capabilities of these factors are possible.
