4.0 out of 5 stars Does almost what it says on the box..., 15 Jan 2008
By E. J. Hales "edhales" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this as I have Sky HD, an XBox 360 and an upscaling DVD player - my TV only has one HDMI and one Component slot. I'm not sure the automatic switching is 100% reliable, as it will sometimes fail to pick up Sky when I first switch on the TV, but compared to swapping cables every time I wanted to change between the two, simply having to press the button on the switcher is a welcome development.

Aesthetically speaking, the unit itself is unremarkable - the integral cable is quite short, so it's not a suitable choice if you're planning to move your equipment further away from your TV, though it's nice that you won't need to buy any more leads, saving you a few pounds. Given that you're already saving £10 from the high street price, that makes it quite good value for money, and I'd rather spend the £40 now than risk damaging the connectors on my equipment with constant tinkering.

Performance-wise, I've noticed nothing by way of picture degradation at standard resolution or at 1080i on Sky. The unit itself claims to support 1080p, but my TV doesn't, so I can't comment on that.

Overall, it's a convenient, simple solution, and I'm happy with my choice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Effective most of the time, 6 May 2008
By S. Jamie "Fingermouse" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this unit to connect a Sky HD box and Samsung upscaling DVD player to one HDMI input. The unit picks up the Sky box every time, and switching from the DVD player to Sky is completely painless. It doesn't seem to want to switch back, though - I have to press the manual button on the unit every time I want to go from Sky to DVD.

The unit still gets four stars from me because it's well-built, very neat, doesn't require any additional cables or power supply and picture quality is excellent (definitely no degradation in signal for me on my 1080i TV). I can live with pressing a button when I'm going to watch a DVD - I'll usually be next to it putting the DVD in the player anyway...

If it switched to the DVD automatically as it's supposed to then it'd be a five star rating without a doubt - but it seems to depend on the equipment connected to it. Your mileage may vary, as they say.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware, 23 Jul 2008
By T. Croft "Gadgeteer" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The cable does look and feel a little cheap, but you've got to give the little fella a chance: The cable worked fine for the first 5 weeks and then started to develop faults. "Auto-switching" started to operate of it's own accord as with a previous reviewer and there was some "white-flash" dropout evident on transmission. It has now been returned. Loved the idea, but unfortunately Thor did not deliver !

but not fully. The automatic selector doesn't work, but using the "over ride" button manually it changes. So can't complain
