Some experience with this one - RioTubes 13:16:55 10/20/10 (3)
I'm having trouble with this switcher presently. I have the 4x1 version but it is the same. The issue is with the cable DVR box...there are splt second dropouts. No drop out using DVD player. This is a big problem apparently with a LOT of HDMI switches...just read some threads over at AVSforum. In this case, it could be the equalization since I only have sources with 1m HDMI cables and it specifically says to use cable over 5 feet I think and thicker 24awg...I have 28awg so I am not using it as spec'd.

  I switched out the HDMI cable between DVR source and the monoprice HDMI switch with the recommended 24awg > 4 foot minimal length cable, and it now works perfectly with no dropouts. This has turned out to be an affordable and effective HDMI switch that passes 1080p.

      The first output port, at least, is auto-switching and that requires sensing a change in the load. The circuit, therefore, must be very sensitive to load.
      
      I do not like auto-switching, personally, because all of my sources are usually on anyway.

sorry, no - Joe Murphy Jr 07:52:47 10/15/10 (0)
I don't need HDMI switching at the moment. I think that switcher should do the job for you and it even gives you an extra input or two, should you need it in the future. The company makes very good products that are inexpensive as well. Should there be a problem, monoprice.com is a good company to deal with if you have to return it.
