Customer Review: BEWARE - Does not work with latest HDMI items - Junk!
Summary: 1 Stars
Beware...I bought this product and it has serious compatibility issues (thing called HDCP - Copyright) and wont work with simple items - PS3, Roku Netflix box, Samsung Blu Ray player, Vudu Digital Player. The only thing it was compatible with was Apple TV which didnt help me much since I bought this to work as an entended Hdmi port system. The screen flashes and goes blue or green with many of these items and I was totally fooled by the price of this gadget. It is junk and I returned it immediately. I ended up buying another Xtrememac 4 port HDMI switcher..since I had experinece with them before and they are compatible with all items. Dont bother with this garbage.Customer Review: Doesn't quite work as advertised
Summary: 2 Stars
This HDMI switcher doesn't quite perform like you'd hope. We hooked it up to our new Pioneer 5010FD with a 15ft HDMI cable and used another 15ft HDMI cable to hook it up to our PS3 at 1080p. It would not display ANY picture when set to that. We tried another 8ft cable and got a picture at 1080p, but white dots would appear and disappear at random, ruining the picture. We couldn't get any 1080p picture when using the switcher with a 6ft cable and our Xbox 360 running at 1080p. I finally tried it with an upconverting DVD player running at 1080i and got a picture just fine. Be very wary with the lengths of your cables if you plan on using this device at 1080p.Customer Review: HDMI switch
Summary: 4 Stars
I had this for about a month now, and I'm reasonably happy with it. The picture is good; I can't see any degradation even though I've got 6' hdmi cables on each side of the switch. I already had them, thought I'd give them a try, and it's working out fine. My only complaint is that while it'll automatically switch to my DVD, it won't automatically switch back to the DVR box, no matter how I fuss with it. However, that's a minor inconvenience for me, so I'm still pretty happy with the unit. The price was great, and I simply only switch from the DVR to the DVD infrequently. The switch is definitely handier than switching the inputs on the plasma.Customer Review: Not compatable with Blu-ray player
Summary: 1 Stars
It switches fine, just as it's supposed to. I bought this switch at the same time I bought a new Samsung Blu-ray player. The player, when connected directly to the TV by HDMI, works beautifully, but when connected through this switch, presents a black image with static and audio that "lurches" forward. The switch, which has its own power source, apparently is feeding back into the player, causing it to malfunction. Whether it's the switch or the player that's at fault, who knows, but they don't seem to be compatible with each other. My other input source, a hi-def tuner, works okay with the Terk unit, but not the Samsung player. Rather disappointing.Customer Review: Doesn't AutoSwitch For Me
Summary: 3 Stars
The auto switch feature doesn't work. Manual functions just fine. It might not be terks fault. I have it hooked up to my sony sony dvd player and my dish network hd reciever. The dish network reciever never really powers off even though it might seem like it. so I think that might be the problem. The price was great. I had actullay paid $100 for it at the store but then I seen it on here for half the price. I also think it makes my picture look alot worse. I see alot of pixelation now, that i didn't see before. Well, for the price, it serves it purpose. But I'll think I'll be upgrading my tv next year to one that has more than one hdmi input.
