Bluetooth connections.

I have a Sony Android tv, my cordless headphones won't work with the Android side of it. I bought two pairs of Bluetooth headphones which have instantly paired with my Samsung tablet and phone but cannot be found by my tv even though they are in pairing mode. Any advice on how i can get cordless/bluetooth phones to work so I can watch movies with sound?. Thanks, John.

From what I have gathered...

A bluetooth item can only be paired to one item at a time, to pair to a different item, it has to be unpaired from the first one. Usually this is done by setting it into pairing mode and the item to be paired with accepting the pairing. Sometimes it can take a few goes, before a pairing works and sometimes it works best if the items are close together.

Thanks Harry, my tv is paired to my tablet, phone and the keyboard you recommended, the keyboard is great. I will unpair them all on Sunday and will post the results. Thanks again, I never thought of that. John.

I unpaired all of my bluetooth devices, and tried to pair both sets of bluetooth headphones. No joy. Is there any way I can listen to Kodi with any headphones?. Thanks, John.
