Electronics : HDMI 3 x 1 SWITCH * W/REMOTE
Rating: 
- The only real solution if you don't have enough HDMI sockets
I have an HDTV with only 1 HDMI socket. This quickly became a problem when I needed to keep changing the cables from my PS3 and multi region DVD player. Rather than wear out the connections and ruin my telly I decided to purchase one of these units. This model is very well made in a suprisingly small but sturdy metal casing. The unit is a maximum of 7 inches wide and only 1 inch high by 4 inches deep so it will fit nicely in most space restricted set ups. The unit is heavy enough for it not to be pushed out of position when the cables are attached. Also, the unit has the capability of being hung on the wall behind your tv so it can be completely out of sight if you wish (additional wall fixings are not included for this). Belkin have included a basic remote control so that you can switch connections without leaving the chair. The only flaw I have with the design is the lights on the front. At least two very bright green leds shine permanently and can be distracting when you are watching the tv. I do wonder how energy efficient the box is with these two evil eyes staring at you 24/7! This aside the unit functions superbly. I can see little to no picture loss which is paramount when viewing high definition equipment. Belkin have included an additional HDMI lead in the box but I recommend using higher quality leads if possible. Im currently using Monster 200 leads to and from my appliances and the results are excellent! The switch is powered by a mains plug which is also supplied. I must point out that mine was supplied with a useless two pin European plug. This may have been a fault at the factory or by Amazon but I had to use another adaptor that I had spare. Otherwise I highly recommend this product.
