    While the functionality is cool, it’s easily made void by certain tech that have since been rolled out, namely not being compatible with dolby vision.

    I wish Philips offered a separate one line box that was cheaper as I only need one line running from my receiver to the TV.

    Was excited to try this out but unfortunately the box stopped working, it says it’s on but does not respond to anything. Had to restart the device by unplugging it and plugging it back in. Really annoying to have to continue to do. Yes I know how to install it, yes I made sure I’m on the latest version etc. Do not waste your money on this. I would return but it worked long enough right up until the return policy ended smfh
