What's even the point of this app? It's the same as the main dts play-fi app and it doesn't work the same the main so doesn't work with my play-fi certified philips tv! Anything I try to do it says either can't connect, not supported or something similar... Useless and just takes space on my tv

The dts playfi headphones app does not work with philips tvs just this. However the whole thing is totally useless, you cannot stream the sound and use your tv at once, lol.

Excellent experience with Philips Wireless Home Speakers: W6505, W6205; and Soundbars: Philips Fidelio B97, B95; Philips B8905, 8805, 8505/8405, B8205

It's not getting connected to Philips Home Theater 5.1 which is only having Bluetooth and Aux option....It could be a better thing if it includes a connectivity through Bluetooth also rather than only WiFi.
