OPPO HM-31 Certified HDMI 1.3 and 1080p Switch Reviews
Good delivery. The switch performs well with my rear proection TV, DirecTV and my Panasonic BlueRay Player
Another limitation of the Protron is its one HDMI input. The OPPO HM-31 switch worked for me as advertised. I purchased this switch at a little higher cost than some of the other switches because all reviews for it stated that it worked as advertised. I go back and forth from an OPPO DV-980H DVD player to my Protron HDTV. The Protron's best video capability is 1080i so I have not tested the 1080p capabilities of the OPPO HM-31 switch.
I have two TiVos and DVD player in the basement, and distribute the HD signal to various rooms. It just works. The TiVo's behavior in this case is to put out an error screen on all outputs - so if the TV is off in the living room, and you want to watch upstairs, all you can see is an error message. Brilliant.
I would give it a "5" if I had a "typical" setup switching among components under the TV. Thanks, movie industry, you just penalized an honest guy who just wants to watch TV in the other room. The problem was that when I turned off the living room TV, the TiVo (or DVD) still saw power on the HDMI port and freaked out when it couldn't do the necessary key exchange for the HDCP encryption. The Oppo flawlessly switched HDMI among 3 inputs. In the end, I purchased 2 additional HDMI cables and now each TiVo and the DVD have their very own cable to the living room. First, the good.
In the living room, I ran an HDMI cable, and hoped to do the switching using the Oppo in the basement, next to the video sources. There is no power switch, it's always "on". Thus when the TV is off the HDMI cable is completely dead and the TiVo doesn't freak out. However in my application, there was a fatal flaw caused by my TiVo and HDCP encryption. Two rooms upstairs get fed by component video baluns.
Bad news, courtesy of the movie industry who insists on DRM right to the display, thus thwarting me from watching legally obtained content in my own home, and slowing down the real hackers by a couple of weeks until they cracked the code. It's very small and cool looking. It's smart enough to auto-select a live input if the selected component is turned off. Now the reason it didn't work for me.
Perfect for switching between the Blu-Ray player and the satellite. My television has only one HDMI input and this switch provides a means to easily attach several products with an HDMI output. OPPO HM-31 Certified HDMI 1.3 and 1080p Switch. The included remote control allows selection of up to 3 HDMI sources.
Bill Mayfield I am very happy with this product. This is a great product. I only had one HDMI port and this will allow me to have up to three ports. Also, this system will check automaticly which DVD player is on and automaticly send it to HDMI.
