Since getting my Steam Controller, I've been playing docked much more, and was curious how well it works for everyone else.

Sometimes the connection to the TV drops and it goes black for a few seconds

I had this issue for a long time, but it turned out it was just a bad HDMI cable. Swapped cables and it never happened again. Might be worth a try.

I already got this tip and got a new cable. Sadly it hasn't improved. I really suspect the dock, but I'm too stingy to switch that out atm.
