Question HDMI switch help needed
Okay heres my situation: One Sky HD box, One Playstation 3, other not important things, One Bush HD tv (lcd). Heres my problem: with only one HDMI socket and two HDMI running appliances I need a switch. Bought a Cheap Joytech tri link switch. Worked with the PS3 but not Sky HD. I need one for both.... Any help or suggestions are extremely appriciated but prefrably one I can get from a mainstream outlet (e.g amazon, argos, comet etc)

Thanks in advance

Oppo HM31 £65ish from crtprojectors.co.uk . Fully automatic, IR control, v1.3 compliant. Works for me and many others.

Re: HDMI switch help needed
Does anyone have experience of both (or either) of these switches? I'm attracted by the price of the Cablesson, but wondering if it's cheap for a reason? Do they both offer auto-switching, and no deterioration of picture quality?

Thanks for any help!

See my post above! Full auto switching and no degredation. No switch should degrade your picture. Do a search on Oppo HM31 and you'll find many satisfied customers on here, me included.

Re: HDMI switch help needed
Thanks Dave, but just to clarify, does the Cablesson have auto-switching too? I am also looking at the Oppo, but the price of the Cablesson is tempting.

Re: HDMI switch help needed
Sorry been busy, No the Cablesson does not.
But if you want auto-Switching go for Octava HDS3-UK
