Belkin Solves Your Lack of HDMI Ports with a HDMI Switch
Ever run into that problem where you have a few devices in your media cabinet that use HDMI, but your TV only has one input. You are forced to either downgrade one of the devices to another standard( if that is an option ) or do the manual wire switching whenever you need to use the other device. Well
Belkin has come up with a nice solution. Their
2 port HDMI switcher with remote allows you to hook up two HDMI devices to the same HDMI port and use a remote control to switch between the two.
This is a perfect solution for those people that have run into the all too familiar problem of having more HDMI devices than your TV supports. What we love about it is that it comes with a simple remote control. We have seem
other solutions that opt not to go the remote control route and we find this to be a problem. The ability to change between sources without relying on the device to 'know' which device you want to be viewing is important. We have tried some similar devices that are suppose to switch to the appropriate device when you turn it on, but they are never perfect and leave you to manually switch it anyway. Including a small remote that allows you to just select the device you want is a simple and easy solution.
So if you find yourself with more then 1 HDMI device and only 1 input on your TV consider the
Belkin AV24503 HDMI 2-to-1 Video Switch as a solution for your problem.
