For those who can't afford headphones there always Closed Captions when your watching a program.

I use these headphones with my phone, my computer and now with the hopper. There are good if you are doing things while listening as they don't fall off your head like over the head/headphones will. They are also easy to use while lying down.

Ironically, BT Audio would be more useful with the Joey, as they are usually installed in bedroom locations where silent listening would be most helpful.
Perhaps Dish engineers might some day make the Joey compatible with BT dongles the way they currently support Wi-Fi dongles. That would be nice.
Just got s230...clicked on bluetooth paired device connected and then nothing...no sound to bluetooth...turned bluetooth off and it was still connected
Hit red button tried again device was paired but would not connect
What am I doing wrong???
Is it because I am using a bluetooth headset that I use for my phone???

I use a stereo bt headset and it works great. If there is no audio then I would unpair and then pair again a few times. I had this same issue when first attempting to use my head phones. After a couple tries it worked and has worked since.

I have been waiting for a cool feature like
This. I watch tv late while my wife goes to bed early.
Been holding off on wireless headphones.
Now I know why.
I just received from Amazon Aluratek ABH01F
Never heard of them. They had excellent
Reviews. Listening to them right now paired with my Hopper. They sound Damn good. 52 bucks with built in mike. Extremely comfortable.
Love this new feature on Hooper! Thank u dish!
If interested check these cans out. They're
Excellent.
Interesting that blu tooth does not work well on Pandora or streaming content

I think I may have been confused when i first read your comment. You need to be sure you are going to Menu>Settings>Bluetooth. If you are going to Paired Devices then that is the problem. That tiles is for future use. If you pair them up in the Bluetooth menu then it should work.
I would just try a few times unpairing and disconnecting and giving it about 30 seconds before you exit the bluetooth menu and see if it works. Remember that the audio from the TV does not mute when using bluetooth and to raise or lower the volume on your headset, you must do that with the headphones volume controls not the hopper remote. I also had issue with no audio after being paired when i first started using this feature but now for me at least, everything works really well and is simple to connect and use.
Ive done it a few times but will try a few more...maybe its because its a cheap bluetooth for my phone??? I dont know
I use it for my phone and ps3 and it works just fine

That is exactly what was happening to me as well. I would get in touch with a chat,phone or dirt rep from dish and give them the model of your headphones so they can escalate it to the correct people so they can check it out. I rebooted my hopper and kept trying over and over and it started working out of the blue.

It is only compatible with head phones and speakers not phones or tablets. Even if you could get the phone paired via Bluetooth,there would be no functionality with it.
