Is this still working for Comcast? I have a similar product for Charter and it has recently quit working. Every channel comes up as "Not Authorized." Previously was working perfectly and I have changed no connections....

I have been using this product for a while now and my experience is it has performed exactly as it should with no problems. I have it splitting an HDMI connection from a PC to a desktop monitor and a wall mounted LCD TV and I have video and audio on both simultaneously with no issues.

First question, why would you want to split the signal from your box in that way? It would be better to run it direct from the box to the amp (i'm assuming its a receiver) to the tv so you are always using the speakers you paid for.Secondly, I have mine splitting my cable box (DISH) signal to my Xbox One and my Receiver (to take advantage of the Xbox one's "watch tv" functionality but still have the flexibility to use only the TV/receiver combo). I have had no problems with video or audio issues. This should do just what you need it to.

it worked for me. I added it to my computer in order to have both my TV and my computer show the same screen.

Audio and video are separate. The signals (audio and video) come out perfect from this device and I love it! I purchased it, because I have an older Harmon Kardon Receiver with no HDMI capabilities. I wanted to have the 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound...from my new Blu-ray player. My new Blu-ray player only had the HDMI connection, so I needed the converter to run the 1080p video to my TV and I used the optical out (on the converter) to get the 5.1 signal to my old receiver. The converter has HDMI out and Optical out. This device is meant to send audio to a device (such as my older receiver) that do not have HDMI input. The Optical out (via fiber optic cable) carries the sound. The HDMI out goes to the TV...for video and the optical goes to the receiver, or audio device. HDMI carries audio and video in one cable, so I am not sure about what you are trying to do. Bottom line...this converter will take your HDMI signal and split the audio and video. The video will go out through the HDMI and into your video display and the audio will come out of the optical connection. If your audio device does NOT have an optical connection, this device will not work for you. You mention 2 channels. Are you trying to send sound to 2 speakers (stereo mode) from your slingbox? If so, I would recommend buying a receiver with HDMI inputs. I am not 100% sure about what you are trying to do, but I am sure I can help you figure out how to fix your problem. I have been dealing with A/V equipment since the late 80's. If you tell me all the audio and video equipment you have, I can probably tell you exactly what you need. It looks like you may be looking at the wrong device, for what you are wanting to do.

My experience with his booster has been very positive. It pretty much solved my problem (which was similar to yours). The trick is to put it as far upstream as possible... where the signal strength is adequate (can't boost a signal that isn't there). It sounds like you have a good enough signal coming in, being the other TVs are getting a solid picture. I'm guessing the "problem" TV is at the end of a long run. You might be splitting things up too much, so the signal strength is dropping below the muting point. .. this amp should solve that. Good, solid product.

I don't know everything there is to know about this system. The first thing I would do is eliminate the splitters and see if the problems are corrected. Secondly, when I hooked mine up, my computer automatically reprogrammed it's format system to fit my TV, how I'm not sure. I do know that when I disconnected the cable from the TV, my computer text and resolutions were all messed up. I still haven't gotten them back to where they were. However, all that said, it worked fine when I first connected it and we were able to watch the DVD video from the computer play on the TV. You also might try to contact the manufactuer to see what they have to say. Hope this helps a little.

Dear friend, thank you for your message. It's sorry to tell you that you can not get the video signal by HDMI and the audio signal by RCA at the same time. You can only get both video signal and audio signal by only one output at the same time, HDMI or RCA. More details please look at the listing. Wihs you a nice day! Yours sincerely,Keedox Customer ServiceMaria

Hi Tom,I've done everything you said and that I can think of and still no dice. So I'm done trying to figure it out. I used to get pretty good surround from the the TV programs that are broadcast HD 5.1 but it seems to be gone also. I have to say that the despite all this, it does sound pretty good if stereo is what I was going for. Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it.Take care,Dennis

First let me say,The splitter is for satellite TV but I am using one for my "over the air" HDTV whole house system. Now let me qualify that. I am passing DC voltage to the RCA amplifier located at my antenna (on the DC pass through port) and running three TVs off the remaining non-DC passing ports. It is working fine for me in my application. Yours might be different. This over the air HDTV on more that one TV or even combining more than one antenna can get real frustrating! Hope this helps.

I wonder whether the component video cable might be the key. Perhaps the user who had problems was using a composite cable instead. I'm about to order this receiver and try it with my component cable.

You may find that only one digital video output is active at a time, due to copy protection laws. (I know this is true for digital sound, anyway.)If so, perhaps you can find an inexpensive device that will split the DVI so that one can go to the receiver and the other to the TV?

I've had the unit for several years with no problems. However, when you switch functions from TV/ Cable to DVD it automatically switches the audio source for you. But, when you switch back, you have to manually reset the Function to TV / Cable. Hope that's all your problem is.

No, the splitter does not work as it is addressed. I wasted my time and money on this and purchased a 50 foot hdmi cable that I now cannot use. I would look elsewhere to solve your splitter problem.

No issues here, been using for 7 months now. However, I noticed one day my HD was horrible quality, and it started freezing and jitters. I tried to troubleshoot it all around on the TV settings and no luck, then I did a reset on the HD cable box and it was fixed!

Check your TV settings and look for your audio settings. Make sure the output is set to PCM as this box can't convert other signals and is usually the cause of this problem.

I just tried for you it works fine. Its probably something to do with your devices arc is very poorly implemented it should work with any HDMI cable even ones made before arc was even a thing. Another thing most arc only supports 2 channel audio so if your serious about sound its not even an option.

Why do you connect audio separately? HDMI should be sufficient to give you both video and audio if you hook it up through a common receiver. At least it works in my case. Try that. Bob.
