Both the required devices to go with this cost almost double what the strip cost, the work around app that should mean you don’t need the sync box doesn’t work when showing Netflix or Amazon Prime, hence the strip doesnt work at all for us as that’s how we watch movies. I also can’t see how the hellishly expensive sync box can be factored into a home entertainment system, ie: using an amp for the TV sound. I wouldn’t recommend this unless you have a bridge and sync box already and don’t use Netflix.
