Will this switch work for a home theater, for example, an Xbox 360, Roku, or set top box?

Yes it will work just great. The only thing to be aware of is ('cause we do not read the instructions all of the time) is to make sure you connect the up link (cable coming from your router) to port 5 on the GS108 and things will run very well.

I only know that it works with my wired Apple set-top box. I suspect it will work for other devices, but I have no experience with them.

I use this to switch between the TV signal and the wii. You just use the RCA (A/V) cables to connect the audio/video. I use it in conjunction with other equipment. This unit has the A/B switch built in. I'm not sure it will work in your situation.

Most likely it will work, but you're leaving half of the switch unused. Most Lowes, Home Depot and Menard's carry the switch that you need for less money.

If the Roku has an HDMI Plug, I don't see any reason not to work. Try it out

I know this switch carries the audio signal down hdmi just like the standard dictates because it works with my xbox and ps3. So it should work with the apple tv as well.

Michael, I would agree with Bruce. I have a PC, and a Roku on my switch and they work perfectly together. The unit also switches automatically when one device goes off. I would recommend contacting amazon for an exchange.

That's what I use it for, only with a different HDMI source, not play station. Read instructions carefully if using the analog audio (RCA plug) output. They are only live in 1 of 3 switch positions.

While I don't have a Roku device, the HDMI cables do work on other devices (TV, computer, DVD), so I don't see why they wouldn't work with a Roku box.

Yes, it should work. Please double check the bullet connections for your switch to make sure they match.

Yes. I have a cable box, blue ray, and a video game attached. When you power up a unit, it will automatically switch. It gets its power from the hdmi connection. Lovin it so far.

If your challenge is that your newer TV only has HDMI inputs then you could still use this box but would need an HDMI to RCA cable to connect it to the TV (this switch box only has rca inputs/outputs). But then you should be fine.

sounds like you have a defective switch. I also use it for AppleTV, a Blu-Ray player, and A DirecTV sat. box. All work fine I just have to push the button to change inputs as it will not change automatically as it is advertised.

I have no experience with Roku, But the Sima is a simple switch that does not modify the signal or significantly weaken the signal. So I would expect it to work with any signal that works in a direct connection.

I'm not sure if the order really matters. You can play around with that though. One thing to know is that the Roku box is an always-on device. The switch is supposed to automatically go to the device that's on. It typically senses when I turn on the Blu-ray player or the Apple TV box and goes to those, even though a Roku box is also plugged in. You might have to use the remote from time to time. I don't find that to be too big a deal though.

Yes as that is what I have it for and my Roku. You are going to also need the Mini HDMI out cable for from Kindle Fire to the switch.

I am not sure, as I only use it for my Xbox 360 and PS3, with no trouble at all. Once one system is powered off and the other comes on, it switches automatically for me. :)

I have an Xbox 360 a blu-ray player and my computer all hooked up to this Switcher and it doesn't seem to have any problem switching between the 3 so i imagine it would work well with a ps3 and a 360 hooked up to it
