No luck splitting to Samsung HDTV and to Onkyo Receiver
(1 out of 5) by F. Shue on Apr 20, 2007I thought this would be the perfect solution. I have the hi-def signal coming out of my HD DVR via HDMI and going into my Onkyo receiver. Before the splitter, I had to have the receiver on anytime I wanted to watch TV (pass-through only worked when receiver was on). With the splitter I had hoped to be able to pass the HD signal directly to the TV and then only use the audio through the receiver for sports, movies, etc.
The signal coming through the splitter was too weak to be able to be picked up by my Samsung HDTV. I figured this was a $16 gamble that was worth the shot, but unfortunately the splitter did not provide the two full-strength signals I required. (It did provide one signal that worked well enough to be picked up by the TV or the receiver, but not two.)

Poor signal after splitting
(1 out of 5) by Ed A on Feb 18, 2007 (Tampa, FL, USA)This splitter reduced my signal quality to where I was getting bright green spots all over the image after it was attached. I though it may be due to my source signal quality, so I hooked it up to my friend's Direct TV box and we experienced the same thing. It's useless. I just completely wasted my money. I hate that feeling.

Digital Cable/DVD connection
(3 out of 5) by R. White on Mar 13, 2007Splitting the digital cable HDMI port to two powerd on TVs resulted in an "HDMI intrusion" error from the box. The error remained in the foreground covering most of the screen but there was a good picture behind the error screen on both TVs. Splitting the HDMI connection from the DVD player to two powered on TVs resulted in a good display on one TV and poor display on the other (Wavey Lines). The splitter would work well for using only one display powered on at a time.

Don't Buy This Splitter
(1 out of 5) by J. Yerian on Oct 18, 2008 (Los Angeles, CA USA)Do not buy this splitter if you are trying to split a single HDMI source to 2 HDMI displays. It doesn't work, even though that is precisely what it is supposed to do. I tried connecting 2 Samsung TV's(LN37A550 & LN19A450) to a Motorola HD cable box(DCH3200) and it doesn't work. If you plug one display into the splitter that TV works, but when you try to plug-in both displays, neither works. I purchased two of these splitters and neither worked, so I doubt it was just a case of having been shipped a defective unit.
This splitter is a piece of junk. Don't waste your money. Amazon should be ashamed of offering this product on their web site and it should be removed immediately.

THIS IS A SPLITTER PEOPLE, NOT A SWITCH
(5 out of 5) by NANDO on Jan 10, 2007 (UNION NJ USA)Amazon description states
Product Description
This Premium Shielded UL Listed Splitter Cable comes with Gold Plated Connectors provides an inexpensive solution to displaying your Single HDMI output to TWO HDMI Displays.
This means ONE SOURCE to TWO DISPLAYS
A display can be a TV or a Projector, but you can't have two cable boxes or a cable box and PS3. You would need an HDMI SWITCH for that
The reviews below of 1 and 3 must be on the buyers themselves for not understanding, not the cable.
