works, but... March 4, 2009 Petey Bombay (Dallas, TX United States) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Well, i bought this because i needed an extra hdmi port to use with my PS3 and HD Cable reciever.
For the most part it works, but when watching TV or using the PS3 the video will frequently drop out and display a static screen or black screen for 3-4 seconds. This happens once every few minutes on the PS3 and even more when watching TV.
I've tested the cables individually and they all work fine.
Also, several times when i have touched the case of the unit there has been some sort of static electrical discharge that causes the HD reciever to flip out and power cycle itself...I'm not electrician, but that can't be good for the equipment...
So, it works with lots of problems, one star may be a little harsh, if it did'nt short out and reset the cable box it would probably still only get two. You're probably better off getting something else.
HDMI Splitter simple, but average January 27, 2009 Matthew Moyers (Chicago, IL) I bought this because I didn't want to spend a lot on an expensive HDMI splitter. The splitter is easy to use with a simple push button, but occasionally my screen will go black for one or two seconds, which I know is caused by the splitter. When I switch from my PS3 to Cable or vica versa, the splitter doesn't always "catch" which means I have to flip the switch a couple of times to make it so the screen switches. For some reason, the screen will occasionally go black for a second or two while I'm watching a program, movie or playing a game on my PS3.
At the end of the day, this splitter a band-aid to a problem that I will solve by buying a good Denon receiver with multiple HDMI ports. While it does its job, it is not a good long term solution.

I purchased this item based upon good reviews. When i connected it to my DVD player and satellite receiver it didn't work. It also has somehow ruined the hdmi outputs of both components. I have checked the cables on other equipment and they worked fine so i am assuming that the switch created the problem. The seller( Wholesalecables ) says it is most likely a problem with the port on the equipment which is unlikely because they worked fine before connecting to this switch. All they will do is allow me to return the part for credit. I am afraid to try this switch on any other equipment. Not good service.
2x1 manual HDMI switch January 15, 2009 mrgoodbuy (Michigan) So far so good. I've read some bad reviews, but I'm using it to run a HD cable box, and a Samsung Blu-Ray player to a widesceen TV with only 1 HDMI port. No static or problems of any kind. Works like it is supposed to. Picture is crystal clear from either source.
