I have FIOS, Chromecast, ps3, blue ray, etc. If I plug this device in hdmi port to tv..will this autoswitch between these devices automatically?

No. This device splits the output of a single device to multiple monitors. Use this device only to display a single source on multiple monitors. I used it to connect 2 TV's to my AMP. The amp has all the inputs for Dish, Rocu, cable etc.

Dear Robert,Thank you for your question regarding our 301BN Premium 3 port High speed HDMI switch. The automatic switching takes place when an input is powered on or powered off. Devices such as the Chromecast, Roku 3, and Apple TV are "always on" devices and will affect automatic switching. You can use the remote to switch inputs when all or some devices are powered on.Please contact us at support@kinivo.com if you have any additional questions.Thank you,Kinivo Product SupportEmail: support@kinivo.comToll Free: 1-855-4Kinivo (1-855-454-6486)Live Chat: http://support.kinivo.com(Mon-Fri: 9am-5pm Pacific) Dear Robert,Thank you for your question regarding our 301BN Premium 3 port High speed HDMI switch.

This has always switched automatically once connected to dock; there should be nothing to do. Check to make sure unit is connected to dock properly and dock is plugged in. the only issue I have ever had is getting the HDMI output to connect with my TV.

I think you'll find that any HDMI interlink or switch will have a delay. This is an inevitable result of the HDMI / HDCP handshaking system.

I have it connected to a blu-ray player and a cable box and it switches automatically, however I am careful to turn one off before turning the other one on.

That's simple. None. Don't buy it. It's a faulty device full of firmware problems. It never switched properly between HDMI devices properly for me so I returned it.

I think it's a good question. Yes, the receiver has to be turned on and you have to have the correct input selected. After all, the receiver does a LOT of processing (switching, upconverting) between its inputs and its outputs. It seems unimaginable that there could be a direct link between one of the four HDMI inputs and the HDMI output when the receiver is off. (Sorry!) But I haven't actually tried it, so I'm only giving you an educated guess here (but I'd give 100-to-1 odds on it!).

It has an option to manually switch (which is what I use). It automatically switches too (to an active HDMI connection) if a certain HDMI input is OFF. The picture is accurate. Works well so far. The main reason I bought is that I did not want an additional power input (like HDMI switchers use).

If they use RCA cables, then probably yes. This is a splitter just for RCA cables. I have an old TV and only one input, so I got this to switch back and forth between Dish, Roku and my DVD player. So there's one set of cables from the 3-port to the TV, and then all three devices are plugged into the port. But if any of your devised use and HDMI or USB cable, it won't work.

The HDMI handshaking protocol has to be inviked everytime a device is switched, so never switch devices unless ypu are prepared for this delay, it is true of all HDMI switches not just this one.

Not sure how your particular devices might affect the auto-switch function, but I ended up sending this unit back as the auto-switch would occur spontaneously. I ended up getting another unit that was entirely manual - no problems with that one so far.

To expand a little on these answers, you can use the switch on the device to switch among the three inputs, but the device works automatically in that the last of the three ports/inputs activated is what will plays/shows on your TV. Note that if you have more than one HDMI input on your TV, you need to use your TV's input control to select the input to which this Fosmon switch is connected.

I purchased this switch, it states it is an auto-switch. It did not auto switch, recommend you get a Cable Matters version of this switch it does auto switch to the most recent powered on device. To answer you question, Yes I installed a cable matters switch at a friends house with a blu-ray, Fire TV, and Fios Box and it works great.

It works with anything that uses HDMI to connect to your TV. Although I am not sure if it differs in video quality but on my PS4 1080p and Chromecast 720p to 1080p the quality is the same no matter if its connected directly or trough the pigtail switcher.

Exactly! At first, I wanted to control the HDMI devices thru my TV but shortly realized I couldn't see the program options. You will switch between HDMI devices thru the receiver. Kinda simplifies things a bit.

Hello, this device switches HDMI ports based on power. Not familiar with Chromecast, but I use the switcher for my Blu-ray player and Roku and whatever unit is turned on will pass the signal to the TV.

No this is an auto switching device it can switch between 2 inputs. It can also be switched manually, but it is not a splitter that will allow 2 inputs to be used at the same time.Example: I use this to switch between an always on device the Roku and a Blu-Ray player, for this it works great and will auto switch from my Roku to my Blu-Ray when the player is turned on.I hope this helps you out, In my opinion it sounds like your are looking for a splitter device not and HDMI switch.
