HDMI switching for cheap

As HDMI capable devices started to pile up on my audio tower, I realized the time had come to either upgrade my receiver to a costly HDMI switching model or figure out what the situation was with standalone HDMI switch boxes.

I hate to link to a merchant’s site but I ordered this HDMI switch (4 inputs, one output) and it’s worked wonderfully. It’s a little slow to switch and strangely illuminated but the build and output quality are irreproachable and switches inputs from my DVR, Apple TV, DVI connected laptop and DVD player very well. The Logitech/Harmony remote I use has the box in its database though the IR codes seemed wrong, I had to ‘learn’ them.

Hear, hear.

P.S. Their HDMI cables are really cheap too but seem to be work fine (only got rather short ones though).
