Terk HDMI-31 Smart HDMI Switch (3 X 1) Reviews
Same with the laptop, if i plug it in, it will automatically switch to my laptop screen and then return to cable when unplugged. I do not need to turn it off for it to switch. This product exceeds my expectations by far. I have a DRV cable box which people have complained about however it is always on.
I have my ps3 and cablebox always plugged into it and i have a spare cord hanging off it for my laptop. I would definately recomend. As soon as the ps3 goes on, it switches to the ps3, when it goes off, it goes back to the cable box. I purchased it a few months ago not even really caring about the auto switch feature, just buying it as the price was similar to other hdmi switch boxes.
I am very happy with this purchase and it still works as a manual switch box which I use sometimes to switch from watching tv and playing the ps3 at the same time.
I only have two devices: A LG BD300 Blue Ray Player with Netflix streaming, and a DishNetwork HD DVR Receiver that inputs to a Sony HD 36" Tube TV. Cables I used: "2 Meter (6.6 ft) HDMI KING Gold Plated v1.3 HDMI to HDMI Cable with Ferrite Cores" Also, the switch works easy and flawlessly. To get the devices to switch, I turn on the LX BD300 to switch to that device.
I just connected the cables. My main concern from other reviews would be whether automatic switching would work. If I get another device, I will have to experiment further. To switch to the DishNetwork receiver, I simply turn off the LX BD300.
This is how switching works for me.
I tried all sorts of techniques to see if I couldn't get this to work, but nothing did. It took three emails to get a response, and then that was a "canned" response. Terk's customer service was absolutely useless. I'm afraid I can't recommend this product. Unfortunately, it just wouldn't work properly with my TV. I purchased this to use with a Samsung LN-S4692D television (46" LCD, two HDMI inputs), since I had 3 boxes I wanted to hookup to the TV using HDMI (cable box, DVD player, TiVo HD). I could get the TV to see the Terk if the TV was already set to the appropriate HDMI input when I turned it on, but as soon as I started cycling through the TV inputs the Terk would disappear (my TV doesn't "cycle" through an input if it doesn't detect that a cable is attached to it).
I only use the switcher in manual mode and I can't get it to work with half of my devices. For the price, I expect the unit to be able to work with all of my devices. It works with my Comcast DVR and my Roku box but it *doesn't* work with my AppleTV and my new Toshiba Blu-ray player. I do not recommend this device.
The Switch did not work well in the auto-detect mode. That manually switching them at a touch of my finger is not a big deal. Amazon's price was $36 and BB's price was $99. But I am so happy not to have to switch cables between pieces of equipment. Well I guess I can begin by asking why they Call BEST BUY, Best Buy.
