Question: just curious if this switcher would work with the firetv? I have only one HDMI input on my tv and am hoping a switcher would solve my problem. thanks
Document: at least for me. my tv won't switch automatically to the other HDMI input - even if said device (AppleTV in this instance) is on prior to turning on the television. I have to manually hit the button on the switcher each time.works for my needs - just not as conveniently as promised.
Under $10 for an automatic 3 port HDMI switch? Though it would too good to be true, but for $8 was willing to try it.Works perfectly. I have 7 devices hooked up, and only 4 ports on my receiver. I have laptop, WDTV Live, and WiiU hooked up to this. One thing I was worried about is I like to leave the WDTV powered on all the time, since it takes forever to boot up. No problem. Hit power on WiiU, it switches.
The HDMI switch works great and does exactly what you think it would. I'm currently using it currently to link up a laptop, ps3, and ps4 all to the same hdmi input on my tv and I've had 0 problems. The switch can switch between 3 different devices using a button on the top, and seems to switch between the sources quite quickly. The quality of the plastic housing seems good, and its incredibly portable.
This is a great product, it works perfectly as advertisied, and it is small and takes up very little space and can easily be hidden out of sight.I had another HDMI switch that was much larger, about the size of a small router. One of my big complaints was that it didn't automatically recognize an input when you turned it on, and you had to cycle through all the inputs before it would recogize it.
It didn't work very well. It would randomly just change from the selected input and have to be switched back.
Smaller than expected which was great. Works perfect- a great value! I would definitely recommend as an easy to use HDMI switcher.
I have a feeling this is meant to happen by design, but just something I thought was worth mentioning. All in all this is a great product for the price and I highly recommend it for those of you that have hard to reach HDMI ports on your tv or just don't have enough to go around.Also please note that while my tv does not support 3D, I don't think this switch will work if you intend to plug in mainly 3D devices to it.
Great for older TV's with limited HDMI ports, this dongle will let you connect additional devices, and will auto-switch it's input to whichever device is powered on. Be warned, it has a blue LED that is VERY bright and will light up behind your tv. I had to cover mine with gaff tape.
If I could rate this products a 0 I would!!!!!! My husband plugged it in and our tv went haywire! It fried the board and now our tv will not recognise any output including hdmi!!!!!!!! Im sooooooo mad! It will cost us more money to fix out tv then to just buy a new one. Now I will have to spend over $700 to get a new tv. What a joke. Not cool at all.
The answer to my problem. I had more devices than inputs on tv and this little guy does the trick. Nice that it auto switches or you can manually do it. Great price and image quality has no changed.
Answer: This switch should work. I use it to swap between my playstation, Laptop and Apple TV. Only issue is that you have to press the button to switch inputs. It auto switches to the active HDMI cable but as some devices aren't completely silent when off its not perfect.
