this device takes one input and turns it into 2 outputs. for example, it will take your blue ray (input) and display it one 2 TVs (output).

I've run mine from my Dish main receiver to this splitter then to my HD TV and my HD projector with a 25' HDMI Cable. Works great what plays on the tv plays on my projector. However we watch our main tv 90 % of the time without using our projector and about 50% of the time I get an error message on my TV screen that said audio not compatible with this device. By accident I found at all I had to do wasto turn off my Dish box with the remote and turn it back on again and voila! Audio worked.

This device only allows you to mirror output. What it means is you can connect one device input to two tvs output. U need a hdmi switcher for what you are trying to accomplish

No, nsa, as Don A. says, this box takes the HDMI output from one device -- like your blu ray player, and splits it to send the signal to two TVs, not the other way around (choosing between two signal sources to feed one TV). When dealing with a HDMI signal, it does not matter the source (blu ray, DVD, game console, etc.); HDMI is a common type of communication between AV devices. What you are looking for will be called an HDMI switcher or switch box; most likely you will have to do something (push a button on the box, or on a remote) to select which signal gets fed to your TV.

I use this for my pc to 2 different tvs. It looks great i play blurays on my pc. I dont think this is what you want tho. Its not a switch its a splitter. There is nothing to switch inputs

This splitter can not do what you're attempting; this splitter is in the opposite direction. It will take one input and split it into two outputs. What you need is an HDMI switcher box (i.e. multiple inputs to one output). Hope this helps.

I tried to find the technical specs for your Sony KDL 40S210, but could not. So, my answer is this: If you can plug in an HDMI connected device such as a Blue-Ray or DVD player and if it works fine with that HDMI connection, then this Kinivo box should work and should allow you to connect multiple devices (BlueRay, Satalite Receiver, etc) that you can easily switch between them. It works best when only one device is actually powered on at a time, but otherwise you can use the Kinivo's remote to choose which device will be passed to the TV.Some devices tend to stay powered on all the time and would require the manual switching with the remote.

well i found out that the box is not the reason i cant watch tv it is that my FIOS box requires an active signal or a return signal to push out video. now the hdmi switch maskes the signal retuning from the tv so it reguiers some thing like an XBOX or a google chromecast to push out a signal to mimic the tvs return signal to the FIOS box. I dont know if you dish box requires an active signal to push out media. so i would try contacting dish to see if they can tell you the correct answer.

If you are trying to get your tablet to connect with the LNT4061F via an HDMI connection, all I can say is be careful. The HDMI on my LNT4061F never worked properly and when it did "work", I would say that it worked half the time. Because of the issues with HDMI, I went to Samsung's website to check to see if there was a firmware update which might help solve the HDMI. I downloaded the latest firmware update and it fried my TV. I thought there would be a way to undo the update and there was not. I contacted Samsung and all they could say was, "why did you install the firmware?" My answer back to them was, "why didn't you place some type of warning on the update to state that the update might not work and that it might render your TV useless?" No comment on Samsung's part and no they did not offer any type of resolution. It would have been nice if they offered a discount on a new TV or on a replacement board for the TV but they did not. Then again, I have come to expect very little from Samsung in terms of service. We have a refrigerator from them that developed rust after about 13 months and a Samsung dryer with parts that have burned up during use so I know about Samsung. I bought a replacement set from Panasonic and it has been excellent. I have no idea about how Panasonic will be in terms of support but then again, nothing has gone wrong with the TV so... there you go!

The idea is that the receiver then controls everything. So when you switch inputs on the receiver, it then switches both audio and video. Otherwise you'd have to switch the receiver input, and then go switch the TV input. Of course, this only applies if you have more than one video source (eg: blu Ray player and Xbox and cable box or DVR). It really is ultra useful and only adds one HDMI cable. HOWEVER: do not buy this specific receiver. It does not handle HDMI switching well (only passes through video does not capture audio), plus the sound quality is horrible. Get a more modern and high quality one, such as a Yamaha or Denon.

I am using a Samsung BDP3600 with a 61" Samsung television. Everything is hooked up via HDMI 1.3 to a Denon 1910 receiver. When I shut off the blue ray it defaults the television source to TV. I use Satellite instead of an antenna so I have to reset the television to either HDMI 1 or Component 1 as I have both working. Also you will need to turn on your television and receiver first before you turn on the power to your BDP3600. For some reason that sequence enables the player and I have to do this every time I want to use the DVD. Hope this helps.

I have this receiver and wanted to let you know that on this model the HDMI ports are ONLY FOR Video. You need to use an optical cable to get at least 5.1 sound. The advantage of HDMI is that the audio and video signals are on the same cable. I don't know why it doesn't work like that on this one? It is not the top of the line so the newer ones probably have it. I think the norm now is 7.1 or 7.2 channels. It is a good receiver though. I don't even have a subwoofer hooked up to it and it still sounds good. I hope that helps you out. You can plug an optical cable from the tv to the receiver but it might be only 2 channel surround sound. I use that setup for my roku 3 I hope this helps.

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).

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.

The Hopper will NOT work with a ViP222 receiver. It WILL WORK with a single, owned ViP211 series.Dish will likely replace your ViP722K, whether owned or leased, for little or nothing. But the Hopper is far superior - and costs a bit more.While using a switch as some others recommended technically will work, at least for the short run, Dish will not allow it. The system must be all Hoppers and Joeys (optional) with that one option for an owned ViP211 series.Feel free to ask more questions.

I would agree with the other responses regarding the settings on your DVD or Bluray player and your connections. I have DISH attached to my Panasonic, but haven't seen your issue. Also, the issue could be related to a setting on the Panasonic and have found the settings used during the review by CNET for this set to be worthwhile.

This splitter is best used to split an incoming single HDMI signal outto multiple monitors. It sounds like you are trying to send theverizon signal to the TV and the Blue Ray Signal to the TV as well.That connection will require two seperate inputs as you will mostlikely need to select which input to use when viewing TV vs Blue Ray.I hope this helps. It's the best I could come up with from the info inyour question.

Will this device work with my DISH hopper DVR's digital output---Yes I connected the RCA output to my Sony TV but get no sound--- maybe because your settings on your TV are not set to receive a digital audio input from an external device? This device will convert a digital audio signal into an analog audio signal....basically eliminating a receiver component between devices....

I haven't tested it yet, but it says Direct TV on it, I have Dish, so I called and asked, Dish says DirectTV makes it for Winegard, but it will still work with Dish. I don't know if that answers your question, but I am 99% sure it will work perfectly for the company that made it, and it is supposed to be HD as far as I know

I have three items connected via HDMI to the 371, a Panasonic Viera plasmaTV (HDMI out) and Blu-Ray player (HDMI 2) and a Mot DCX3200 cable box (HDMI1). After inserting a DVD the 371 switches automaticly to HDMI 2 and works perfectly. When I'm finished with the Blu-Ray player and shut it down the 371 doesn't automaticly switch back to the cable box on HDMI 1. The cable box was left on while watching the DVD's. I have to press HDMI 1 on the remote to get a picture and sound. I don't can't find anything in the manual about this problem. Anyone know what I should do?

I have DISH (not a hopper) and the 2ndary TV essentially is over the cable in the house on channel 60 - works rather well - my only problem was the jokers who sold it through amazon gave me a used unit without mounting hardware and I had to make my own template and find acceptable screws - TV is great!

I also had problems with the digital audio connection. I was never able to get any sound out of that output. I read in other forums that only TV audio will come out from that connection and it won't work to pass through audio from other sources (hdmi). Ultimately, I had to connect my devices' audio directly to my home theatre system. This work-around was not ideal, but got the job done. Just a little more hassle to change a/v sources since I have to change both the TV and the home theatre receiver.
