hi everyone
had bought a classical HDMI switch not-powered, from Amazon, everything worked perfectly with Sky and new Google Chromecast, BUT
1- it didnt switch automatically between the two sources. I had to change using the button on the switch. I understood the problem might be GCC, as it is always ON, and it doesnt switch off
2- but the I realized the problem might be SKY, because it's not able to power the HDMI switch on its own. Connecting the SKY alone to the HDMI switch doesn't even switch the red led on the switch. I have to plug the GCC as well. Therefore I imagine problem 1 above is due also to the fact that HDMI switch doesnt recognize the SKY is on.
I returned the switch and looking for a powered switch. Would this solve the issue? do you have a recommended model/brand? thanks
