Type of review

UPDATE - apparently the box doesn't support the HDMI arc function. Works great as HDMI described below, but I was limited to getting audio to a connected device. When I connected to the TV Arc Out to stream audio from any devices connected directly to the TV, the Arc was not working. with any settings to produce an optical output. ARC works with my soundbar but not with this box. The arc on/off and channel switching settings as well as the PCM setting on the TV did not work. Came back to find…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No power

Works as advertised. Dish Hopper sound bug fixed

Dish Hopper has a bug. When we access YouTube via Hopper, the TOSLINK optical audio is disabled, but the onboard HDMI audio still works. Reported to Dish Engineering, but who knows if they'll ever fix it. Meanwhile, this little HDMI audio de-embedder solved the problem. We looped the Hopper's HDMI output through a Newcare HDMI 2.0b audio extractor and powered our audio amplifier with optical S/PDIF. Problem solved. The box is transparent with no side effects. Comes with 5V power adapter, HDMI…

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • So far so good

No need to run 2 HDMI cables!

I have an old receiver that was very effective. We have a snazzy new big screen TV that's very 'smart' but too far from our component stack to run an optical cable. This little box allowed me to run a long HDMI from my screen with a very short optical cable from this box AND I can use the same HDMI cable to connect my BluRay player to my big screen! I figured I would need 2 cables, one to carry the signal to the big screen and a separate ARC cable to carry the sound from the TV to the speakers.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
