Item does not work with Netflix Roku & DVD Player [Posted on 2008-07-11]
I like many others read all of the reviews and decided to take the plunge after a few others specifically mentioned that this works with the Netflix Roku movie downloader.
Well... for me it didn't.
The other thing everyone mentioned was that in order for this unit to work properly, you need to turn off one device before turning on the other or the unit may not auto switch peoperly.
That doesn't work either.
In addition, the ROKU unit is "always on" so there is no turning it off.
Regardless though, after using several different hdmi cables between the Roku, DVD player and TV... ultimately i give this 1 star for appearance only. What an utter disappointment this unit is.
EVEN WHEN MANUALLY SETTING (which you can do) it still did not send the signal to the TV properly.
When i plug the DVD player directly into the TV... works like a champ. When i plug the Roku unit directly into the TV... works like a champ.
So... i blame the TERK unit.
Now i'm back to looking. This time though i'll find someting with a remote since the ROKU unit is always on. That i did not know until after i bought it.
I hope this helps
Does not work as stated [Posted on 2008-07-23]
This product does not perform as stated. The automatic works with some hookups, but shuts down my Motorola Cable/DVR box (which then has to be rebooted). I am unable to leave the switcher hooked as needed because of this problem. The signals are good though and I am receiving clear sound and a great picture. I would not recommend this product.
Auto doesn't work w/ Comcast/Motorola DVR... [Posted on 2008-07-29]
As quite a few people stated, the auto select part doesn't work properly w/ device like Cable DVR. Indeed, I read those review before getting one. In a a sense, I expected it.
For the money I paid + there's enough people warn me ahead of time about the 'Auto Select', I think it still deserve a 3 - 4 stars. Oh... there's no 3.5, OK... Let's make it 4, what the heck. :-)
Does not work as advertised [Posted on 2008-08-13]
This product's performance is spotty and inconsistent at best. I can't get my XBOX 360, and my DirecTV HD receiver to work consistently through this device even when using the manual button. The three HDMI cables perform perfectly when connected with either device to my Sony HD TV.
Perfect for low model tv's [Posted on 2008-08-19]
I have a television w/only one HDMI port but several attachments that require HDMI connections so I went into a local electronics department store to inquire about a device that would allow me to connect all the devices to my tv. The salesperson showed me this device and so I decided to order it from Amazon.com and so far this device has been perfect!! It automatically changes between ports so all you have to do is cut on a device and the Terk Switch takes care of the rest. I love it!!
