[AFTV2 Gaming Controller] Thoughts on listening to audio through the headphone jack?



I currently have a wired pair of headphones connecting to a bluetooth receiver to listen to audio from the FTV 2 while on my bed. There is some interference and depending on where the receiver is placed, there is an occasional drop in sound for a split second, that reoccurs every 6 seconds.

Thus, my next best option would be to spend on the Amazon's second gen Gaming controller that has the headphone jack. Wifi Direct is better than Bluetooth, but from the recent experience with my 2nd gen remote and there is very limited reviews regarding the audio on the headphone port.

So has anyone that purchased the gaming edition tried out listening to videos / audio / gaming sounds via the headphone jack on the controller?



[AFTV2] WiFi Remote: why I love it.



After installing the audio patch update, and switching FireStarter to non-ADB detection my WiFi remote went back to dropping out again. First time it's happened since I first set up the (unused) WiFi connection.

Rebooting didn't help. Switching FireStarter back to ADB had no effect. I was about to give up and contact Amazon.

And then, just for a laugh I pulled out the LAN cable, plugged it back in.

Whaddyaknow, back to normal again.

Which leads me to ask: has anyone got anything positive to say about this remote? It's supposed to have better battery life. That might very well be true: it's way too early to say. And it's supposed to have lower latency. Can't say I've seen any evidence of that.

Anyone?

AFTV2: LED only works, when handling the control



The led only flashes, when I'm using the remote. When the AFTV2 is working aka watching a movie, the led is turned off.
So its impossible to decide, when the TV is off, if the AFTV2 is on or off...

S.o. else facing this prob ?
