Works with some issues.

I just replaced my old satellite receiver which uses an HDMI output instead of the composite video/audio connections to the TV. My TV only has two HDMI inputs but I now have three HDMI output devices so I needed this switch. Overall it works well and I haven't noticed any degradation of the video quality introduced by this switch.However I have a couple of issues with this switch. Number one, as other reviewers have said the power indicator light could blind a bat in a darkened room. Electrical tape over the light fixed that. Number two, I discovered that the remote control codes conflict with the volume up/down remote control for my satellite box. Pressing either up or down causes this thing to switch inputs. Also the home button on my Roku remote control causes this unit to switch to input #2. I had to resort to the aforementioned electrical tape trick over the IR sensor to prevent that behavior from occurring. I simply use the manual pushbutton to switch inputs. At least that's one less remote control to have to juggle.These flaws are not a showstopper for me but it does make me wonder about the quality of the overall design.
