Review on πŸ”Œ Vention HDMI Splitter Switch 5x1 Ports 4K 3D Remote Control Compatible for PS3 Xbox 360 Sky Box DVD HDTV Projector by Darius Early

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great on selector switch boxes

Works great and is very easy to set up. The downside is the disgusting bright red light that shines from it. To keep it from glaring at us while gaming or watching movies, we had to put the box in a slightly odd spot so the remote couldn't always reach it to change channels. UPDATE: We've been using it for about 5 months now and it's been losing connection lately. So we're watching something (from the Roku box) or playing on one of the gaming systems, and all of a sudden we're not seeing anything. Sometimes we get a message that HDMI is not sending a strong enough signal. But we swapped the cables and tested them all directly on the TV and they work perfectly. So I guess it has something to do with the box. SECOND UPDATE 11/30/18: We only have one port left receiving any signal at all, none of the other 4 ports are working at all. It worked great at first and just didn't last long. THIRD UPDATE 6/10/19: The seller of this product supports their item and was kind enough to send us a replacement. So far the replacement has worked really well, and the automatic switch actually works better than our first one, so it's possible the first one we got was just a bug. I'm raising the stars and if all ports continue to work past the five month mark, we had issues with the first one I'll definitely give back five stars.
