I very rarely know what the characters are called in movies
Even on shows I've watched for years I struggle with this
My daughter on the other hand is the complete opposite. She knows the characters, what they're called in real life and everything
It's because I'm a bloody space cadet
Yes I should try to get a bluetooth adaptor. I've got bluetooth headphones with a USB thingy for my computer, and they're quite good, but I think I'd need something specially for the telly.
I wish they'd do a list like they do at the front of Shakespeare play books, where they tell you all the characters and a bit about them before they hit you with the play. I could probably get a lot more out of some films and TV shows if I studied those for long enough before I watched the video. I got through a novel once by taking notes about the characters for the first chapter or two. I had to learn them all by heart and then suddenly everything clicked and I was away. Before that I couldn't follow any of it.
You can also get a bluetooth transmitter/receiver which connects to a 3.5mm audio jack on your television or television connected speakers.
That would allow you to turn your non-bluetooth television into a bluetooth capable television, at least for audio streaming.
Normally, bluetooth adapters connect via HDMI or USB.
