I've owned this switch for a while now and use it to switch between my TV HD box and DVD Player. I used to have Dish as my HD Set top and now have Time Warner. I have used several DVD Players as well and all worked great with this switch.
I wanted an auto switch since it would make it easy for my wife to operate the system - power up the DVD player and the TV switches to DVD. Power it down and TV is back on (It takes 3-5 seconds to switch back and forth, but that's not the switch's problem, rather the handshake that needs to occur between the TV and the HDMI source).
I have tried a no-name switch that did not require power (very nice since this switch does need to be plugged in), but that one was not as reliable - it would not pass the sound through to my Philips HDTV, though worked well with my friend's LG. IOgear was fully working with both.
No Complaints. I wish it did not require power, but that's not a big deal. Oh yes, forgot to mention, the...Read more

Exactly as advertised. With a TV (Panasonic LCD) with only one HDMI input, I have the Direct TV and DVD (Panasonic with HDMI) running throuhg the switch. Therefore, you do not have to hit the video selector button on the TV. I have it set up so it defaults to Direct TV unless there is a disc placed in the DVD, then it plays the DVD, which is useful because I live with people who are 'remote control challenged', except of course for my [....] boy. I only gave it 4 stars because I can't live with giving anything 5 stars.

Half Baked Cake,

I've connected this device between my DLA-RS1U projector, a samsung BD-P1200 and HD Directivo. It flawlessly passes 1080p/24 with no problems (one of the two main reasons I purchased this switch). However, it does not switch automatically between the active sources. I have to use the manual switch to go between inputs. I've confirmed that device 1 is off when device 2 is on, and when I switch device 2 off and device 1 on, nothing!
To make matters worse, I called Iogear's advertised "24/7" technical support. After spending 5 minutes trying to locate the switch on his screen, I was informed that technical support for the switch was only available Monday-Friday. I pointed out that their website didn't say 24/7 for every device but mine, but of course that didn't help.
Hopefully they will get it working or they can have it back.
