Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box

Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box
So HDMI CEC does not work for me, it is activated on the Samsung tv and when I switch the tv to standby the sync box also goes to standby but when I switch the tv on again the sync box remains mute.... Now I was wondering what is wrong with leaving the sync box on all the time? If I leave it switched on, it reliably starts and stops the synchronisation of the Hue lamps. The sync box just stays switched on all the time. I haven't tried switching on and off with a USB cable yet, because all my cables are too short... Since I currently use IPTV and Netflix directly via the TV, it doesn't work with the sync box, now I'm thinking of getting an NVIDIA shield tv box. Or do you have a better idea?
