This switch works perfectly. Formerly

This switch works fine. I used to have a big antenna on the rotor to pick up stations in different directions. But after several years of having to free the rotor after ice storms, I managed to do it. The antenna/rotor has been replaced with two long-range HD antennas aimed at the strongest broadcast sites. This switch allows me to switch between locations from the comfort of my own home.

Pros
  • I'm fine
Cons
  • I have a problem

An easy way to receive both aerial and cable channels on the same TV.

Easy connection to TV. Can switch from aerial to cable channels (or vice versa) in seconds. Simply switch the converter to cable or antenna and set the input on your TV to cable or antenna. The image quality is good at all settings. You've stopped paying the cable company for local channels and the savings pays for itself on this converter in less than a month.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Interchangeable

A very useful element in splitters

These simple switches will make life much more convenient when using devices that use a coaxial connection. They last a very long time, especially when the connections on the primary side are configured to toggle without the need for an actual antenna/cable switch on the switch. For example, if you're switching between cable and satellite, set the input on the TV to both, and you don't have to flip the physical switch on the real switch. Over time, the physical switch can loosen with use…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

Channels with

We bought this because we don't have a lot of free digital channels with our cable service and we wanted to be able to switch between cable and antenna. It works great on one of our televisions and we can easily switch from cable to antenna and back. On another TV we have to rescan all the channels every time we use the switch. For this to work without having to rescan each time you use the switch, the TV itself needs to have a setting where you toggle between antenna and cable. . With a…

Pros
  • may need to be rescanned. Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • poorly thought out

Poor quality

I bought one of those Parts Express A/B coaxial switches and had problems with it from the start; Still managed to get it working for a while but the problem reappeared. However, this was past the time I was able to return it. Over time the problem only got worse and 3 months after purchase I was able to get clear reception in less than a minute. I've sent two messages to the supplier, ProShop Deals, to see if they have any suggestions for solving the problem, but I never received a reply. I…

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Very useful article

These simple switches make life a lot easier when using equipment with a common coaxial connection. They last a very long time, especially when the connections on the primary side are configured to toggle without the need for an actual antenna/cable switch on the switch. For example, if you're switching between cable and satellite TV, you set the input on the TV for both, and you don't have to flip the physical switch on the real switch. If you're using a physical switch, it can loosen over…

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Obsolete

Inexpensive; Expect some signal degradation; and it looks cheap

Probably to be expected, but with this switch you lose some of the signal. Of course, whether or not you are on the threshold of perceptible bit errors depends on the strength of the original signal. We use this switch to toggle between the main cable (480i set top box output) and the cable signal right at the wall (which usually provides national ClearQAM channels if you have Comcast service). Depending on your region and service provider, this effectively allows you to deliver national…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
