So it sounds like an Ambilight tv is a good option the!
I’ve also been thinking about the Sync box and how it connects/works, I assume it can only process the signs all that passes through it, a games console for example.
So on that basis, if you’re watching normal tv or YouTube via an inbuilt app on the tv, it won’t work with the sync box?

Correct. I need to run YouTube etc through the sky box rather than the tv’s app.

Yes that is the only bugbear with the sync box but now I rarely use my TV's native adds as all I need comes through my EE Pro Box. I can't stand watching other peoples TV without ambilight!

Anyhow Hue now has this covered with their App but only on newer model Samsung Q series TV's sadly mine is Q series but one year two old
