Digital camera Review: Apple TV Problems with Switcher
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought the Apple TV and the XtremeMac HDMI switcher. I have been unable to get the Apple TV to work through the switcher. After calling Xtreme's support number and double checking settings, cables etc. I find out that although they claim this device was made for the Apple TV it does not work with some units. After searching the internet for problem with this combination I found that I am not alone, there are a lot of unhappy buyers out there.
(note: Extreme mac does not have the usual support forum or faq that most sites have, I think that is intentional to try and keep this problem quiet)
I have a new Sony TV, Apple TV, top quality cables, followed all troubleshooting advice. The switcher works fine with my xbox 360 elite, my DVD player and my Dishnet receiver. Just not with the Apple TV. The Apple TV works fine when connected directly to the TV.
Buyer Beware, when used with Apple TV this product may or may not work.
Digital camera Review: At least it worked occasionally for a few months...
Summary: 1 Stars
This device was easy to hook up. I noticed that it took a few tries to get the "channel" to register, but I was lazy and didn't return the switcher, and the problem became worse over time. It worked for me for the first four or five months, then stopped working entirely. While my switcher worked during August and most of September in 2009, it often took ten or more button pushes to get the correct "channel" (1 through 4). I'm not bothering to spend time getting it fixed or replaced, nor will I buy another product from this company.Digital camera Review: Best HDMI switcher!

I can use it with my logitech harmony remote. there is no compression or any signal loss on this thing. works great!Digital camera Review: Beware if you have a Samsung HDTV
Summary: 1 Stars
Beware if you have a Samsung TV as this does not work. Something to do with the copy protection on the HDMI connection. I bought and returned and have yet to receive my credit (Company is going through an acquisition with Imation) I bought the OPPO HDMI switcher and it works like a charm. Now if I can only get my money back from Xtrememac as they sent me an RMA number, I sent it back and now they just take my name and do nothing. Beware....Digital camera Review: Broke after a month
Summary: 1 Stars
I have an old HD TV only one HDMI input, bought this so I can siwtch with my universal remote between my ps3 and dvd player without having to switch around cables.
The switch worked like a charm at first, then one day i get back from work to watch a movie, it's not working after a couple of hours of trying i figure out port 3 works if port 4 has something plugged in and switched on, and vice versa..
I'd recommend skip this..
