Digital camera reviews of Xtremehd 4-PORT HDmi Switcher
Digital camera Review: Does NOT work with Apple TV + Syntax Olevia TV
Summary: 1 Stars
For their price/features ratio the Syntax Olevia TVs are widely sold, also at Amazon. I have a recent 26" model to which the Apple TV has been connected for a flawless performance. Upon purchasing a Toshiba HD-DVD I also picked up the Extrememac HDMI switcher, since the company seems to sleep in the same bed as Apple, with the unit having the same form factor as the Apple TV, and the company delivering affordable cables for the Apple TV via Apple. So my expectations were not too high to expect the Apple TV to work with the Extrememac switcher.
After being unable to get the Apple TV to work with the switcher (advertised specifically as "Works with Apple TV") I am now in receipt of a Extrememac support email stating that not all TVs work with the switcher. Major bummer, and I chide the company for not disclosing which brands fail to hook up. After all, the thing's a $99. paperweight otherwise. Buyer beware!
Digital camera Review: Does not work
Summary: 1 Stars
This switch simply does not work. It fails to recognize my connected devices. I'm running a PS3, XBOX 360, and Direct TV DVR into a Panasonic Veria Plasma.Digital camera Review: Does not work with Comcast's Motorola dvr box
Summary: 3 Stars
very nice design, really sleek and sharp looking however it does not work with Comcast's Motorola dvr high def box. it works great however with ps3.Digital camera Review: Doesn't Support 1080p on PS3
Summary: 1 Stars
Contrary to the manufacturer's claims, this device is not fully compatible with all HDMI devices for 1080p content. Case in point, the screen flickers constantly when connected to a PS3 set at 1080p resolution. Connecting the PS3 directly to the TV eliminates the issue, so the problem is clearly with this device rather than the PS3.
Seems to be work fine with my Apple TV, but it's content doesn't go up to 1080p.
if you intend to use this for 1080p content, buyer beware.
Digital camera Review: Don't buy this one
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this switch last November. Last month, it stopped working, wouldn't power up. With a one year warranty, I contacted their technical support and, 3 weeks later, I received a replacement. The only problem? The replacement didn't work either. I'm not trying for a third...I'd rather have one that works.
