Re: HDMI switch box £10.00

These are instore at HMV. They have been on offer for a while and I sear it had been posted before.

Got mine for £9 inc student discount.

It comes with remote, power adapter (and usb cable to power off av equipment with usb ports )

I've heard fairly poor reports but for the price I thought it was worth a try as once everything is plugged in it's unlikely I will change them for a while. Haven't opened mine up tho, got it on the last day I was back home.

Re: HDMI switch box £10.00

Is anybody using this with 1080p or thereabouts being switched through the box? I'd like to get one of these but the high-end ones are uber-expensive, and I worry about how the cheap ones cope with high bandwidth switching... maybe I shouldn't.

Re: HDMI switch box £10.00

spoke to soon
It has probs only with the ps3 and only on the xbm static/snow and constant resoultion changing
but the weird thing is its perfect on blu-ray and games?? it's just n the xbm that it happens.
360 and hd player is perfect, sent the wife back to hmv today to exchange it, if it happens again then refund it is
