something like this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ZU2GRCI/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1453261681&sr=8-1&pi =SY200_QL40&keywords=bluetooth+splitter&…

Jan 21, 2016 2:02 PM in response to Protoddby BugsRUs,I am not sure this splitter would work. I think it requires a headphone jack to be connected between the splitter and the ATV for audio to get to the splitter. If the ATV had an audio out jack then it would work. I believe.

Feb 28, 2016 7:09 PM in response to kunalnanoby smitty25,I'm in the same boat - I have a 9 month old that goes to bed early and my wife and I want to watch tv but we're in a small apartment.
Adding to what @Protodd said, I have a really old LG television (8 years) and there is no 3.5 mm headphone jack on it. I did some research and I think you can use a Y-cable to convert the RCA audio outputs on the tv (red/white connectors only) to 3.5 mm headphone. Then you plug the bluetooth splitter's 3.5 mm male headphone into this Y-cable's female 3.5mm.
Now I haven't done this yet but it looks like it should work in theory. I'm hoping there is no audio delays given its jumping thru 2 converters.
