Apogee HDMI 3x1 Mini Switcher v1.3b Full HD 1080p - 25m Amplified with External IR Receiver+Remote Control
The 3×1 HDMI mini switcher routes high definition video (in multiple resolutions up to 1080p) and digital audio from any one of the three sources to display unit. Three inputs accommodate the simultaneous connection of up to three high definition video sources, such as satellite systems and HD DVD players. The output sends the high definition audio/video signals to a high definition display. Aside from the manual switching, the switching can also done via the IR remote that is provided with the unit for added convenience. The compact design eliminates the bulk of an HDMI switcher while still having the same functionality.

At first I thought it arrived DOA with the inability to send a signal, but I switched DVI-to-HDMI adapters and it magically came to life. Works as intended, autoswitch is great except for when you have 2 devices that are attached on at the same time. Using it for Blu-Ray playback from my PC to TV/HT and I definitely can't complain. Also have a standard DVD player hooked up and can't tell the difference between a direct connection and through the switcher.

Have the output plugged into my TV, a dvd player, a dvd recorder & my computer plugged into the switcher & it works perfectly, no signal degradation that I can see. Very simple to use & set up...if you run out of hdmi ports on your tv, get this because it's an inexpensive way to increase them & IT WORKS.

Used it to connect 3 devices to my video projector. Hookup is easy but you must supply cables. The remote IR sensor allows placing the switcher towards the rear of the equipment. The remote control works well. No complaints.

My HDTV only has on HDMI port, but right now I have 2 and it is a pain to have to switch them manually. I originally bought a 2x HDMI switch from a local game store. It worked fine except that if I wanted to manually switch between my 2 HDMI devices I had to press a switch on the switcher as it did not have a remote.Then I received an email from this site advertising this item. Since it had 3 ports instead of 2 and it was cheaper than the 2 port switch I already had, I decided to get it. Plus it had a remote to switch the input from afar.It is super easy to set-up and works as advertised. The remote works fine. It takes a couple a seconds for the switch to change inputs, but then again, so does my TV.My only complaint is that it did not include an HDMI cable to go from the TV to the switch, which my other switch included. Luckily I had a spare HDMI cable so it was not much of a problem.The only other thing is that some devices are incompatible with the intelligent switch, not a fault of the switch, but a problem none the less. My FiOS STB sends out a constant signal to the TV even in stand-by mode so the switcher will always select that input first. It is a pain, but it's not the switchers fault.Overall an excellent value, works as advertised, gives me room to get a 3rd HDMI device. If you need an inexpensive HDMI switch, you can't go wrong with this.
