    I needed a HDMI switch for my kids gaming area because the projector they are using for their games only had one HDMI port. I did not want to spend a lot of money and this port happened to be on sale. Works great. No complaints. Would buy again if I needed another.

    I stuck this on the back of my 24" curved monitor to use as a splitter for my PC/Nintendo Switch/Wii U. It's perfectly designed for three inputs to go into it in this way. Four stars because the fourth input is on the opposite side, so not useful for me at all. The remote is also nice, but clearly pretty cheap. I like it, it's useful.

    I was told we needed this switch and I was told to go get it. This brought back many a childhood memory of being told to go get a switch, mostly after having misbehaved in some way or other. While this switch handily carries the signal from one device to another, the other kind of switch left scars...the ones on your heinie heal, but the ones on your heart never do.

    I keep my cable box, receiver, DVD player and amp in a remote cabinet in a different room and use infrared remote transmitters. This keeps all the clutter out of the family room where the TV is. My receiver is an older Onkyo without HDMI ports. It is a 60' run of HDMI cable from the stack to the TV. Rather than run another cable I bought this HDMI switch. I paid more than one I could buy online and hoped I was getting a good one, plus the convenience of getting it at Best Buy. The issue is it occasionally drops out so the signal from the cable box to the TV freezes for 3-4 seconds and then continues. If I bypass the switch all is well. I guess I will return it for another and see if that solves the issue.

    I needed a switch because I have one HDMI input on my monitor and three devices I need to hook up and I was tired of unplugging and replugging in every time. This product is easy to set up and use. I like that with the one button on the top of the device I can turn on and off the device and switch between what I have hooked up to it. I don't use the remote much since I'm never more than an arms reach from my switch, but for the sake of the review I tried it out for a day and it's very responsive, so if you have the switch in your entertainment center and you're too far to get up and switch it every time, then there's that for you. Also, another major plus, is that it does NOT auto detect products, which is why I've had to return several other brands of switches. I really don't like auto switch because sometimes one of my devices (like my PS3) will turn on automatically to do an update and then the device will switch to that and I'll have to pause what I'm doing and switch it back. This device does NOT do that, which is a major plus for me.

    I purchased this to give me additional hdmi slots as my TV only had 2 slots. First the good. Once it was all setup it works as expected. You switch the remote button according to the HDMI you want to use, and that is it. Setup was easy and straightforward. The only complaint that I have is that if you turn off the TV and the sound bar but leave the switch on, it appears to go into some sort of a loop. When you turn the tv and soundbar back on it does not recognize the hdmi (i.e.1), and I have to switch to another hdmi port and then back for it to recognize the hdmi. Not a deal breaker but lost a star for that. Other than that works as expected, and like the stars say it is good for its needs.

    I have a decent flat screen Phillips television. Only bad thing about it was t only had one HDMI port. So having my xfinity box and my PS4 I was getting frustrated with constantly changing ports. Saw this as I was only window shopping at Best Buy. I was like well I do need something like this. Ever since then it’s worked like a charm and no complaints.

    This gadget saved the day, having the ability to use one hdmi port with a rmote to switch from devices saved time,money,space. My 60 inch has one working port out of the three that came with the t.v. We have 4 devices so the hdmi port switch seemed worth a try. It has exceeded my expectations and eliminated alot of wires being tangled all while just switching systems and devices with a single button.

    I bought this for my son because his tv only has 2 hdmi ports. It works flawlessly. Its nice and small. It comes with a remote to switch from the different hdmi ports. The only thing I wish it did was automatically switch. Its a good product. If you need more hdmi ports, definitely buy this one

    I have an older model Mitsubishi plasma tv from 2005 that has only HDMI slot. My old DVD was connected by component input to the TV. When we decided to upgrade our home theater and move the Mitsubishi to another room and get a new streaming DVD player, I was short one HDMI slot to connect both my DirectTV receiver and the new DVD player. I'm told newer model DVD players are no required to have options for component hookup. The Best Buy rep suggested this device that would increase the number of HDMI connections available. I purchased this and it works like it's supposed to! The Rocketfish does require plugging into an electrical outlet. Also, I needed an extra HDMI cable to connect from the TV's HDMI slot to the Rocketfish device. I then connected one HDMI cable from the Rocketfish to the DirecTV receiver and another HDMI cable plugged from the Rocketifsh into the DVD player. The Rocketfish comes with a remote to select the HDMI port input (four available), but I configured my Harmony 650 remote to automatically switch by activity used. Port one is for watching DirecTV and port two is for my streaming DVD player. This method was more expensive than I wanted to go, but it was easy and to set up it does allow for all HDMI connections with my devices.

    Able to connect 4 HDMI instead of one

    I bought this 4 port switch so I could connect multiples input sources to the same HDMI port on my television. I have a Blu-ray player, a Chromecast, a Roku, and an Amazon fire stick connected to the same port using this switch. There is both an automatic and a manual option. Since streaming sticks don't turn off, I use the included remote to switch to the device I want to use at any given time. If I stream using the Chromecast, the switch will automatically go to that port. If I turn on the Blu-ray player, it will switch to that port. I have to manually switch to the other ports but that isn't a problem because there is a remote. I bought this switch while on sale during Black Friday and am very happy with it so far.

    Purchased this switch in order to plug in multiple devices to a tv that is hung inside a wall AND has no home theater receiver plug into it. This is a great switch to plug in multiple devices such as gaming systems and smart tv devices being that this tv I’m using the switch in is not a smart tv. The remote allows me to switch between devices with ease and keeps the 1080P without distortion. I would recommend this item to anyone that is needing to plug in multiple devices without having to run numerous hdmi cables to the tv or just don’t want to take down the large tv to plug into more devices.

    This was a great buy. My tv only has 2 hdmi ports in the back and my boyfriend and I were constantly moving the tv to get behind it and switch between our devices. With this device, we just plug in all of our devices and we use the little remote it comes with to switch between them all. It doesn't affect the video or sound quality at all and it does exactly what we want it to do. It has three hdmi ports in the back of it and one in the front. So we keep it behind the tv and plug in our gaming consoles and our cable into the back ports and we have one long hdmi cord in the front port that we can easily plug into our computers when we want to. It's such a time saver and it's totally worth it!

    Two of my old tv hdmi went out of commission. With this little thing now I have 6 hdmi, two hdmi that still work on my tv and the additional 4 this thing gives you. I like the tiny remote to switch to the desired hdmi. So far works great. One thing though, is best to live it on so it doesn’t switch automatically to the hdmi you left it on. Otherwise if you turn it off and on it will automatically turn on the last device you left it on along with the tv.
