 Very good Switch Box February 15, 2008
I've read all the good and bad press on this one before I choose to purchase the product. I have found it works very well as long as you use good cables to reduce signal degradation. I have found that Plasma and LCD are more prone to artifacts, while my Mitsubishi projection TV has never had an artifact issue.
Unless you really need to have a remote and control more than three HD systems, consider looking at "Pelican HD System Selector" or the "GameStop Universal System Selector", between 15 and 20 bucks. I have one of those too and have found it to be just as good a appliance.
 Well rounded selector, good value, but a few flaws. February 13, 2008
Pros: Simple to setup and use. Programming the labels is about has hard as setting the presets on your car radio. Blends right in with other stereo components. Passes 1080i HD signal to my CRT HDTV without any distortion that I can discern. Display is bright, clear and easy to read. Remote makes switched from game console back to TV or other devices from across the room simple.
Cons: No S-Video cable included. No dedicated audio cable included, so if you use all RCA style video outputs (component and composite) and send your sound via RCA to a receiver you either have to use your own cable or separate the red and white cables from the yellow on the included composite cable. As the other reviewers noted, there is no Wii label and no way to update/customize the labels.
The LAN support isn't a true hub, but a switch, where port A or B can talk to the network but not both at the same time. You cannot link a LAN port to an input channel, so you have to select both the right A/V channel and LAN port.
Worth the money. January 25, 2008
This is much cheaper and much more versatile then the other products I have found for video/audio switching. The fact that the fiber ports are also switched is a huge bonus!. I think there is a possibility that the quality of the video is however slightly degraded. I did swap out to some really nice monster cables and I did still notice just a slight drop in video performance. However I am willing to swap that for the very nice convince of switching between devices with out having to unplug cables or switching things around.
BTW this is not a game Amazon why did you ask me to rate this game?
 WARNING: ONLY 3 OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO INPUTS! January 16, 2008

I ordered this hunk of garbage based on the misleading product description, only to discover that the thing has a grand total of 3 optical digital audio inputs.
I guess they don't expect that we'd want to listen to anything from the other two component video inputs.
The lack of audio inputs for the other 40% of the inputs renders the device worthless to me. Hope I can spare you the wasted time purchasing and then instantly returning one.
Works Great, Would Recommend!! January 1, 2008

I researched many of these selectors, not knowing which one to buy! I ended up buying the Pro System Pelican Selector. I works great for what we need it for! Very easy to hook up and I love that it comes with a remote! The only drawback is I do notice a very thin line going up the TV, but I am used to it now. Would definitely recommend this!!
