Means i dont get to see the pretty lights on the AMP that says DTS-HD, DTS-MA etc

Good to know

Hopefully it will get full bitstream output support added, as not every HDMI AV receiver can handle uncompressed multichannel LPCM, AFAIK.

Of course, I'm still using optical myself anyway... really should get a new receiver at some point so I can have HD audio.

Yeah. It's annoying having to say the full name, though. Quicker to just click on the tile for Forza 5 than say "Xbox, go to Forza Motorsport Five".

It's limited in the UK because we don't have the One Guide with full guide integration and STB control.

But as a straight passthrough it works well, and the ability to have notifications pop up when watching TV, or to use another app and have TV snapped to the side, is quite cool.

It's just a pity that it is not a passive passthrough. Great if you live on your own or have the Xbox and Sky box hooked up to your own personal TV and not a family/household TV. But if you don't...Needing to have the Xbox turned on every time you want to watch TV is obviously annoying for anyone who does not give a crap about using the Xbox, does not want to waste energy on another device, does not want to talk to the Xbox, and does not want to use yet another controller in addition to the TV and Sky remotes.
