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.

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.

This is a great product at a great price. It does exactly what I wanted it to do and no more. Construction is excellent.

I wanted a cheap solution for the bedroom so we could use both HDMI connectors on the TV. This is a perfect solution if you want something cheap, and you do not mind manually switching. Since I have to put a DVD in anyway, I do not mind it being manual.

This switch is what I needed to connect 2 different inputs to 1 HDMI input, BUT did not operate as expected. For instance, you can`t just jump from one input to the other. Audio did not follow! I`m assuming, since there was no instructions, that the input must be selected BEFORE you turn on the equipment. Otherwise works good.
