Reason for purchase: Because I have two Panasonic PVRs (and occasionally I need to use both at the same time.)
I purchased one of these after purchasing a new Iiyama (24" Prolite E4207HDS) monitor, that takes three different types of input. VGA, DVI, and HDMI.
So to use both PVRs, I disconnected my old 2m HDMI lead (identical make, but purchased on the high street and cost £59.99p, so you can easily see this is excellent value for money, being a 5m!)
Then I was able to connect a Euro (also known as Scart) lead from my PVR#1 to my TV, and the new 5m HDMI lead past that over to the new monitor.
I am now able to use my main TV with PVR#1 via SCART (or preferably the new monitor via HDMI,) and PVR#2 with TV via my 'old' gold 2m HDMI. Thus enabling full editing of timed recordings, and transferring to DVD both at the same time.
This saves my tons of time, and as I am 88%+ disabled, lots of channel hopping from one PVR to another, thus reducing the number of errors that I used to make (when I sent the wrong instruction to the wrong PVR.)
Great value, EXTREMELY FAST DELIVERY! Ordered approx' 10-11am one day and delivered the very next day! Thank you.
