 Good quality device October 22, 2008
First if you are looking for a wonder box that will do everything under the sun for you, then you will have to pay a little more than $50. I simply wanted a switch that would allow my one input DVI TV to have multiple HDMI devices without having to unplug the PS3 and plug up the HD DVR and vice versa.
This device clearly states in the manual that it will automatically switch to the newest detected input. So if you have your HD receiver on, and turn on the PS3, it will detect the newest input (PS3) and switch. So at this point if you want to watch the HD receiver again, you will have to turn off the receiver and back on again or get off your duff, and go hit the manual input switching button. Or you can spend a $100 and get one with a remote. I'm actually glad that it has this manual button incase of problems in the future. If it does not switch properly then your device is probably not HDCP compliant.
As one previous review stated, lights on top are very bright, but doesn't really bother me. I have it pushed way to the back of my HD receiver.
Comes with a mounting bracket that is already attached with rubber feet on bottom so it will not slide when it is laying on your whatever.
Picture quality is no different then not using it.
Finally an affordable HDMI Switch that does all that is advertised! October 18, 2008
I have tried multiple sub-$100 HDMI switches of varying brands and have had issues with all of them until now.
I am using this for a PS3/Xbox360/PC configuration going to my plasma TV via HDMI.
With many brands I have had issues with my PS3 or PC not working properly. Even some more expensive brands I tried had issues properly sending PC signals.
I was skeptical about the Terk as it is not only affordable but I have read mixed reviews on it's performance for other people.
However the Terk surpassed my expectations. I expected something to either not work as advertised or to require major tweaking to get it to function properly.
I was pleasantly surprised when I plugged this jewel in and it worked without a hitch right from the get go. The autoswitch feature is working perfectly as well - and it does switch back to a previous signal if the current one is lost. So for example if I have my PC on and then turn on my 360 - the Terk automatically switches to the 360. If I turn the 360 off the Terk automatically switches back to the PC (as long as it's still on of course).
As a final note - I run a 25 foot HDMI cable from the output - so I was a little concerned with how the Terk would perform over that length of cable. The answer is - PERFECTLY!!!
Anyway - anyone who is looking for an affordable way to add HDMI ports can't go wrong with this unit. I couldn't be happier after months of trying multiple brands.
 Good Product October 15, 2008
Item works great with the exception that I can't get it to recognize automatically which component is playing. Otherwise, good product for a good price.
Perfect for low model tv's August 19, 2008

I have a television w/only one HDMI port but several attachments that require HDMI connections so I went into a local electronics department store to inquire about a device that would allow me to connect all the devices to my tv. The salesperson showed me this device and so I decided to order it from Amazon.com and so far this device has been perfect!! It automatically changes between ports so all you have to do is cut on a device and the Terk Switch takes care of the rest. I love it!!
 Does not work as advertised August 13, 2008

This product's performance is spotty and inconsistent at best. I can't get my XBOX 360, and my DirecTV HD receiver to work consistently through this device even when using the manual button. The three HDMI cables perform perfectly when connected with either device to my Sony HD TV.
