Do not buy unless you talk to IOGear first [Posted on 2007-12-08] This item would probably have worked but they do not keep up to date with PS3 updates. The unit will not work with PS3 firmware 2.01. I talked to IOGear and they do not have a fix right now. Their recommendation was to send them the unit and they would update it when they had a fix. They had no timeline on the fix so needless to say I sent it right back. Units should be upgradable by personal computer not by having to send back to the factory. Poor design consideration. Everytime an HDMI component updates, the unit may not work. Call IOGear to make sure your HDMI units will work with their switch
Wow, BRIGHT blue lights! [Posted on 2007-12-29] Works as advertised, I liked the auto-switching feature, although the remote is very directional (not always senstive). Now to the negative, those blue lights on the front are really BRIGHT at night, blinding really. Cover with black tape? - then you can't see whats on...another dig...the blue lights are supposed to indicate what is on, but there is absolutely NO labeling of what is what....just a blue light in various places on the faceplate... Confusing - you bet!
Great HDMI switcher [Posted on 2008-02-13] Quite a few bad reviews here. I have to say, I have had no issues! Picked it up, plugged it in, absolutely no headache. The unit is connected to a Scientific Atlanta HD cable box and a Sony DVD player. The unit quickly switches between active HDMI sources when different inputs are selected. I have this unit behind a cabinet and am running a Logitech Harmony 890 (also very happy with). The auto sensing feature is what sold me on this unit.
I GAVE IT ONE STAR, HOWEVER I MEANT TO GIVE IT FIVE (Couldn't change)
works just great [Posted on 2008-05-15] I was a little reluctant when purchasing this item due to the reviews, but there were enough good reviews that I decided to try it.
I have Comcast DVR & a XBOX 360 plugged in, and the auto switch works great! I believe the switch gives priority to the first slot, but you can easily switch using the remote.
I hooked up my 360 to slot 1 and DVR to the second slot. This way my 360 has priority when its turned on. This setting works well for me.
cons:
1. The lights have no labels and they are pretty bright for a dark room.
