Apple TV and Samsung TV with no Bluetooth
Main Question: Does Apple TV act as a bluetooth transmitter and does the TV have to have bluetooth?
My question is my friend has a Samsung TV that does NOT have bluetooth. I'm trying to figure out which is the best Bluetooth Transmitter to get. They all have some very bad reviews . She does have a brand new pair of 3rd Gen Airpods but we cannot pair with her TV. I've gone into the secret/service menu and could not enable it because it just doesn't have the capability. I checked with Samsung.
I have an Apple TV4k box love it. I also have a Samsung smart tv and older one. I had to go into the service menu on the tv to enable the bluetooth. My AirPods 2 work great and I can control the volume via the Apple TV remote.
