Conventionally a splitter just sends the same signal to 2 or more different devices at once ("splits" the signal), like when multiple TVs are connected to a single cable or antenna splitter. This device won't send the same signal (duplicate it) to 3 different devices (i.e. it doesn't work "backwards" than intended). Only one of the three inputs' signals at a time is passed through to the TV using this device. That's the terminology confusion, so a "switcher" or "switchbox" is a better term.

No. It splits the signal to the from the antenna to the Genie. You still need a Genie to put a picture onto the second TV. If you want to watch the same show on the second tv, as is being shown on the tv connected to the Genie, you could use an HDMI splitter.

That one would not work for me either. Returned and purchased OREI HD-104 1x4 4 Ports HDMI Powered Splitter for Full HD 1080P & 3D Support (One Input To Four Outputs) This works great to split cable signal to other tv's. Works without delay.

Hi Spencer, The device is an HDMI signal splitter - one HDMI signal in, Two HDMI signals out. For example, I use mine to connect the HDMI output of my cable TV box to two televisions.There does not appear to be any signal amplification. The HDMI signal level into each of the two televisions appears to be the same as that out of the cable TV box.The "operating" length of the HDMI cable would be approximately the same as that directly out of the cable TV box.Art

This is a HDMI Splitter... Meaning you take the output of one device (like a Satellite Receiver) and then split that signal to multiple TV's. If you TV only has 2 HDMI inputs and you need another one, why not consider using the Component Inputs on the TV, it will give you a good HD picture... Hope this helps...

You need a HDMI splitter, not this which is a switcher. A splitter splits the signal to two (or more) monitors/TVs/projectors, so all work simultaneously. Panlong 1X2 HDMI Splitter 1 In 2 Out 2-Port Amplifier Certified for Full HD 1080P & 3D (One Input To Two Outputs) or Portta PET0104MP Mini portable 4 Port HDMI 1x4 Powered Splitter Ver 1.3 Full HD 1080P with HDCP Support, Deep Color, HD Audio . There are a bunch more - I just picked two for examples so you can see what they are. You need a HDMI splitter, not this which is a switcher.

A powered splitter like this is required: HD 4 Port HDMI 1x4 3D Powered Splitter Ver 1.3 Certified for Full HD 1080P (One Input to Four Outputs). I just hooked 50 ft. HDMI cables (Sept. 2014) to this splitter and the TVs work. I have been using 25 ft. cables. My splitter is now in the basement. Yay!

If you want both devices to be able to use the HDMI port on the TV, you need an HDMI switch not a HDMI splitter. A splitter provides the same signal to two different receivers. A switch will take two different HDMI sources or transmitters and make either available from one or the other to a receiver (the TV in your case). Hence, this splitter will not work for you.

I am using the splitter to split HDMI from the output of my video/receiver to 2 flat panel screens. that works just fine. I would assume that your intended use on a charter hdmi output should work equally well.

no. this splitter starts at one source and goes to two different tvs. not one tv to two different sources.sorry. i will say that product is out there. make sure you have good hdmi cables.

This device is meant to share 1 HDMI signal onto 2 screens. (However, it doesn't do it very well. I recommend you get the powered version like this one: Etekcity 1x2 HDMI Splitter / 2 Port Audio Video Amplifier HDCP Ver 1.3 Support 3D 1080P PS3 Xbox DVD Blu-ray )

Not sure I understand the question. This equipment is primarily for splitting one HDMI input source into up to 4 output devices. So, if you have one source equipment (e.g. computer, DVD player, Blu-Ray player, game console etc.) with, at least, one HDMI port, you can use the splitter to distribute to 4 different output devices e.g. you can operate one DVD player and watch on 4 different TVs simultaneously. Both your input device and the output devices should have HDMI ports or HDMI compatibility. If either of your input or output devices does not have HDMI ports, you would need to be sure there are converter cables that will work with them. For instance, I use a DVI-to-HDMI cable from my computer to the splitter because my computer does not have HDMI ports.

I have slit my BluRay and Roku components with this switcher and it is working well. The BluRay is position #1 and the Roku player is #3. It is such a simple connection, I can't offer you any help. Good luck.

THIS IS NOT A SPLITTER. a splitter takes one devies ie, cable box and splits it on 2 or more outputs. ie 1 hdmi IN and 2 hdmi OUT..... THIS IS A SWITCH. hence it switches. it has 3 hdmi IN and 1 hdmi OUT that you manually switch the sources

Not this model. This model just splits the video signal into two streams so that you can drive two TV's with the same signal at the same time. I had to buy this splitter because my receiver HDMI output wasn't working and my TV does not have an HDMI port. So, I ran this splitter to have one stream going into my receiver audio input and one stream going into my TV through an HDMI to DVI adapter. There is a version of this splitter that has an A-B switch so that you can do what you want to do.

Yes. You can replace your 2 way splitter with this splitter and will have the ability to have 4 DirecTv receivers attached working independently of each other.

I agree with Seth. It's what I believe is a splitter. I use it to connect my Apple TV & Cox cable box to one HDMI port. I have to manually push the button to switch it, even though it says it does so automatically, to whatever is on, but that's a minor inconvenience.
