Customer Reviews
It works... just not all the time.
I have a TV with only one HDMI input... what a drag to have to switch cables when you want to do Hi-DEF gaming and Blu-Ray with the awesome ps3 on your HDTV that already has the cable box hooked to it.
In comes the neat little JoyTec HDMI Trilink. The thought process is right... it allows you to hook-up three separate HDMI sources to your TV with only one HDMI input. It even has a nice little basic remote and an attachment which allows you leave the unit hidden and still receive signal from the remote. I even setup my universal remote to control the unit.
The problem is that I keep having problems... Sometimes it's no sound and sometimes it's no picture. To make it worse... no one thing fixes it... sometimes it's as simple as changing the channel on the cable... other times I actually have to restart the little unit (mostly I have to restart the little unit). And since I have it hidden with the rest of the cords... I have to move my entertainment center out to get to the unit. Needless to say... it's a pain when you want to watch something right then... or have company over.
If you're willing to deal with the crap... it's excellent for the price you pay for it since I haven't found anything else more reasonably priced. But, if you can (meaning you can afford something else)... skip this one... if not, it's worth having over nothing at all.
Didn't work; No support
From my cable box, the picture cut in and out, and from my PC, the picture had lots of artifacting. With direct connections, they worked fine. I emailed Joytech support twice in the last three weeks with no response yet.
It's ok...
I have three devices hooked into this little switch: DirecTV HD-10, a PC via DVI to HDMI converter, and a 360. It works as advertised as long as you don't breathe in its general direction. If you do, the picture more often than not will not come up until you go jiggle the cables leading into it. It's a real pain, but at the time, it was far and away the cheapest thing I could find that had three ports. Times have changed, and now so am I. I'm writing this review as I'm searching for something to replace this PoS
