I purchased one of those Android Internet TV sticks with HDMI. Installed: Android 4.0.4. Here is the product listing and specs:

Amazon.com: Mini CX-01 Android PC Android TV Box Android 4.0 Cortex A5 HDMI IPTV Player USB 8GB: Electronics

I thought I would be easy to use a wireless keyboard by connecting a Bluetooth dongle (I have a Logitech one that works with Windows and Suse Linux on my PC).

However when I plugged it into the USB port of the TV stick nothing happened. I know the USB port on the TV stick is working because it can run a standard keyboard and mouse with wires.

Does Android automatically detect Bluetooth dongles (what I would expect) or does it need a special "Android Bluetooth" dongle or additional software drivers or manual setup?

(In searching other forums I find I am not the only one with this problem...others have the same experience with various makes and models.)
