Good HDMI switch

ozsat · 29-05-2008, 16:01

I know this has been mentioned a few times in the best - but with FreesatHD now needing HDMI as well I think there may be more interest.

I'm looking for a good HDMI switch that really has full HDCP support.

There are lots that say they support HDCP - but in the reviews it would seem that most people have problems using them with SkyHD and/or they get HDCP errors only when using the switch.

Is anybody using one with SkyHD and have no problems at all?

Have you ever tried a SkyHD box through it - or has anybody tried it?

OK - found a review where it states the Thor are aware of HDCP problems with V+.

I need it for SkyHD, V+HD and FreesatHD.

I've just got one of these, a bit expensive but excellent, HDMI v1.3 compliant and next day delivery. Fully automatic so you can hide it out of sight.
