I have your exact setup and yes, it will work. Your Xfinity box will plug into the hue sync box and the hue sync box plugs into your tv. Everything on your Xfinity box will work, including all the streaming apps. If you plug more than one HDMI device into the sync box it can be a hassle to change inputs. You can no longer change inputs on the tv as it now only sees one input from the hue sync box. You have to use the hue sync app to change inputs. There are settings in the app to allow the input to automatically change when a device turns on which works great for the PlayStation but the Xfinity box is always on so you have to manually switch it. Btw, it’s a very cool product but I don’t find it to be very useful. It is distracting when watching movies. Kind of a gimmick but a very cool one.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
