Review on EASYCEL S Video Converter Cables Composite by Robert Pearson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

No S-Video on my new NETWORK satellite receiver!

Dish NETWORK upgraded my old 522 receiver to ViP 722K. Looking back, there is no S-Video I need for my outdated audio/video system! My search for an HDMI>to>S-Video component or adapter turned up this. Pros: + Revain free shipping! + Converts HDMI to S-Video as described. + Advertised - aluminum case. Video Converter converts the HDMI signal to S-Video and L/R audio. Maximum input resolution supports 1080P.+ Announced - HDMI signal to RCA (Composite/AV/CVBS) L/R video and audio.+ Announced - Supports HDMI input resolution: 480p (60Hz), 576p (50Hz), 720p (50 Hz/ 60Hz) ), 1080i (50Hz/60Hz), 1080p (50Hz/60Hz). 1 power adapter, 1 RCA cable, 1 S-Video cable and 1 instruction manual. HDMI cable? what to do with it - The power cord is short! - Nice solid aluminum body but no legs so need to find your own source. - Since I'm not a fan of the annoying red LED, I decided to replace it with a green LED. Final comments: ▪ Overall, this does what I need. Convert HDMI to S-Video, which my older audio/video system requires. ▪ I gave a slightly lower initial rating, usually 4 stars, because I don't have an HDMI cable. What can you do about it? - The power cord is a bit short! - Nice solid aluminum body but no legs so you'll have to find your own. - I'm not a fan of the pesky red LED, I decided to replace it with a green LED.
