Can this switch be used to switch one cable input to two televisions (one at a time)?

Cable signal is non-directional. The "out" label is only a suggestion. I can't imagine there is a smart circuit in such a cheap simple product.

You can, but what you probably want is a cable splitter, that will have both televisions with the same input (cable, satellite, antenna) at the same time. But if for some reason you want one TV to be without that input while the other is, you can surely use this switch.

I know it says "input" on 2 and "output" on 1 connector. But, you can really use it either way. 1 input to 2 outputs or 2 inputs to 1 output. It's possible that there is some signal degradation, but I've used it successfully to switch between two outputs. Most of the time you wouldn't need to do that, as a splitter provides 2 outputs for 1 input. In the past, I had to use this switch instead of the splitter, because I wanted to have a bit of isolation. It worked fine.

Yes, I use mine to watch cable or by switching see TV from the antenna. No problem to do what you want.

No, look at the picture. It has 2 inputs and 1 output. It is to be used to switch 2 cables going into 1 television.

This switch should work. I use it to swap between my playstation, Laptop and Apple TV. Only issue is that you have to press the button to switch inputs. It auto switches to the active HDMI cable but as some devices aren't completely silent when off its not perfect.

Looking for a switcher on a budget...can this switch between 2 cam corders and output one signal to livestream?
1006289
Yes - we currently use it with two TVs, and can have both of them turned on at once.

Yes that is true. I have a computer and dvd player connected, and I can manually switch between the two sources. And, yes it sends the one input (the one you select, input 1 or 2) or same signal to two HDMI sources.

No. This allows you to hook up two outputs to one TV. I use it for my Direct TV box and Apple TV.

I use this to switch the output of my cable box to different TVs. It switches instantly.
1456343
No. It works for whatever TV is plugged in and set to the correct HDMI. You can even watch both TVs at once
1447557
Yes, although an HDMI switch may be less expensive. You will have to change your TV's HDMI source signal if you more than 2 inputs to your TV.
516712
yes you can, but this device has 4 inputs and 2 outputs meaning you could hook it up to 4 cable boxes but you can only display it on 2 tvs, so i don't thinks it's what you are looking for
2260298
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.

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.

Yes. That is the difference between a switcher and a Matrix Switcher. I have a cable box and a computer with HDMI hooked up to it. I have a TV in the bedroom and the living room. I can switch both devices between both TV's. Either TV can play either device.

My splitter works 2 TV's just fine. I see no reason it would not work just as well with your 2 items provided they are working fine with a single line.
330853
No, this is the oposite. One input to have two tv's connected. You need two inputs one output.

There's only one HDMI output slot on this device. You're in need of an HDMI splitter, not a switch. This device would be for TV's that have 1 HDMI port, but you have 3 devices like: Apple TV, Video Game Console, Cable Box - all needing connecting to your TV. To connect one device to multiple TV's you need to split the signal using a splitter.

This is a splitter, not a switcher. See the description -- 1 in, 8 outs. Multiplies your signal to other outputs. A good example of a use for this would be in a Walmart (with all of the TVs displaying the same content) or for TVs inside a health club, coffee shop, etc. which need to share the same output. -Ki Salem Beats
