    Sadly had to return it. As everyone focuses more on "cutting the cord" this doesn't work with streaming apps that come pre-installed on the tv.

    When it works it is awesome, but sometimes the video signal will cut out for a few seconds. It doesn't dropout super often(maybe once per week), but it is very annoying when it does.

    After a year or so, this is a good product. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does but a reboot generally fixes all things. Worthy for the more snooty of us.

    The color is nice to have when watching television. But when using the Xbox One to watch anything or play any games the sync box keeps on cutting out. The screen goes fuzzy with the sound still happening. The only way for this to fix itself is to restart the box. I have replaced the box twice already it still does this. If they could fix the crashing issue on the Xbox the. It would be perfect. Having to pause my movie or or dieing in a game because the box decides to stop working is not a working product.

      Hi there, thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that you've been experiencing some trouble using the sync box with your Xbox. We'd recommend trying all of the HDMI input ports to see if this makes a difference. We have recently released a sync box firmware update (1.4.7) which includes some bug fixes. Please could you make sure you update to the latest version, and if you still experience this issue, don't hesitate to contact us via Facebook (Facebook.com/huephilips) or Twitter (Twitter.com/tweethue). We provide 24/7 support via those channels.
