HDMI switch (3x1) for £32.23 delivered with Google checkout

Been after a decent-priced switch for a while but they either seem to be extortionate or very basic. Found what looks like a decent one with remote control at a very good price here:

http://www.vivomounts.co.uk/products.asp?cat=18

4-port and 5-port also available for a little more.

Ordered 2 days ago, arrived today.

Hope this helps someone.

how did you get it for £25.24 delivered? The delivery is £6.99 so it still works out to £32.23 with Google checkout..

Just checked my order receipt and it has £0.00 for delivery. Maybe that's changed now since I ordered.

- Mods please alter title to read £32.23 delivered.

great find m8 and looks pretty decent from the specs. As you have one already, how do you rate it m8?

Sorry so slow in replying. Veryhappy with it - great image quality, easy to switch with remote. Only downsides are no auto switching and the LEDs on the front are very bright so I've placed it near the back of my rig. HTH.

I bought one of these and have returned it twice. Have you managed to get audio through it/does it switch audio or just video?

Yep, seems fine with audio - I'm using it to switch between a PS3 and V+ cable/PVR box - no problems at all. Sorry to hear it's not working for you.

Mmm, interesting you should say that. I tried three different HDMI cables without the switcher and audio passed through to my TV. Introduce the switcher and no sound. So disappointing.

Thanks for responding to this thread.
