Has anyone tried a usb bluetooth adapter for this to pair your phone? I'm trying to stream music from my phone through the google tv. Seems like this should have been included, so if I'm missing something please let me know. Thanks!

Use Twonky or other DLNA service and send it over Wi-Fi. Bluetooth requires drivers to control the chip and the stack, and there are different implementations and versions. The Sony TV does not support it. I also gave it a shot, and the TV doesn't recognize the USB BT for networking or connection options.

Certain USB stuff functions perfectly (like USB mice), but as scampcat said, Bluetooth doesn't work (at least not simply). You can try streaming via WiFi or better yet, upload your music to Google Music and then stream through your GTV.

I have a set of Bluetooth headphones and a separate BT dongle. Any way I can listen to my TV over the BT headphones. Kind of like wireless headphones but over Bluetooth. Is there some kind of driver or something like Twonky or TVMobili for BT. I know the Sony google TV doesn't support BT but was wondering if anybody knows a way to get around this...?

The Sony googletv does have Bluetooth built in but apparently (i think) its only for the remote, which is kinda dumb. I paired my nexus7 to the googletv but it doesn't do anything.
