Avoid this piece of junk!

I saw a lot of bad reviews on this item and passed it once. When I saw it for sale at WallyMart for $25, I figured it was worth a try. Sometimes people don't have the technical knowledge to write intelligent reviews on electronics after all... Well, I'm here to tell you this thing doesn't deserve...

It's Terrible

I bought this switcher, thinking it was a great idea, well obviously it wasn't. The picture creates horizontal lines and sometimes it automatically switches to another input so the tv will switch to a black screen. I'm taking it back now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Piece of junk

I have a DVD player, Wii, Playstation and HD cablebox that I hooked up to this thing. The Wii won't auto detect, and when I manually switch to it I get audio but no video. The Cable connection has lines that run through it, and the DVD quality is not good. Listen to everybody here, it doesn't...

every thing it claims to be

Every thing it claims to be. Saved me a lot of hassle and cable swapping with my ever expanding media center.

Does not work for component video

After connecting it up between my HDTV and HD cable box, I got flickering across the top of the picture and the entire picture would cut out intermittently. Similar to other reviews here, I guess. I'm returning to Target, ASAP.

Works great with composite and S-video devices

I got this switch box only for automatically switching among different composite and S-video input devices. It works wonderfully for what I need. I cannot comment on the component input/output issues that others found. I already have several switch boxes at home, but none of them has remote...

Alot of problems

First off, this thing is big, clunky, and cheaply made. Its made of cheap plastic and feels like it's going to fall apart. I bought this thing to use with my cable box and xbox cause my tv only has one component input. When I plugged the tv and xbox in, I noticed the HD quality was reduced...

Totally unsuitable for Hi-Def content

If you're using this to connect hi-def components, you've gotta skip this product. Whenever the video signal contains too much white, the picture becomes unstable, with black lines or shifting of the picture downward. I don't know why this is, but much cheaper switchers (and presumably much more...

High definition made convenient

This saved me some hassle when connecting multiple devices to an Akai LCT32Z5TA LCD TV. Like just about any HDTV out there, the TV has multiple inputs, including HDMI and component. The hassle is that the TV won't automatically switch to the single active input, so you need to use the remote to...

Flickers off for bright colors

I'm about to return my second one of these switchers. The tragic flaw here seems to be that when confronted with bright bursts of white (in my case, some xbox 360 gaming screens), the picture cuts out completely until the screen darkens again. This basically cripples any gaming experience where...
