4X2 True Matrix HDMI 1.3a Powered Switch w/ Remote Controller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The included instructions provided very little useful information. The switch is designed to be powered from the HDMI inputs, but a power supply is included for more reliable performance. I installed the power supply.

Although the remote's matrix switching is somewhat intuitive, the switch does not respond as expected to the commands from the remote. Switching between source and output is unpredictable or unresponsive. The remote does not have an indicator to show it is powered on or transmitting.

I will probably keep this unit however because it has an automatic source sensing that works most of the time as long as only one source is powered on. Unfortunately, when two sources are powered on, the auto sensing does not work and the remote commands don't seem to work. By selecting inputs manually on the switch through trial and error, the desired source is eventually located.

Image quality did not appear to be effected by the switch.

CHANNEL VISION C-0314 8 Db Rf Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Trying to get my cable modem and cable TV working optimally was a nightmare but this product fixed everything.I'm in a rural area and far off the road which creates challenges for cable.The cable company thought I was having a grounding problem, but changing the grounding did not fix it.At first, I had a passive splitter and Motorola 484095-001-00 Signal Booster and it worked ok for a few months, although my cable internet had high packet loss and was slow.After a couple of months the cable modem would lose signal intermittently and then stopped working.After giving up on the cable company, I replaced their old clunker modem with a Motorola SB5120, and I tried various "high quality" passive splitters with no luck.The CHANNEL VISION C-0314 fixed the problem.My cable internet and TV have been working great for months now and without the high packet loss that I was having before. The CHANNEL VISION C-0314 is a cleaner solution as well, since it is an active splitter, and everything is in one unit.I bought a second one, just in case anything happens to it. :)

Python 6" - 2 RCA-Plugs to 3.5mm Stereo Plug Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This "y" adapter solves one of the new technical problems with HDTV's requiring a separate sound cable for the PC connection.With this adapter you can run a starndard 2 wire RCA to the TV and use the "Y" to connect to the computer output. Note that you may have to turn external sound "on" both the TV & the computer to complete the connection.I have set up multiple systems using this cable.It is a 5 star solution.

Open House H816BID 1 X 6 Powered Video Amp Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Once I plugged this in, I noticed a definite improvement on my analog cable signal (signal that doesn't come through a box).And since that was my greatest concern, I would have been happy there.But I also noticed a significant difference with how digital and HD looked afterward as well.What I noticed most was the lack of 'blockiness' that tends to occur with fast moving video images.While there is still some, I think this device eliminated any blockiness that existed due to the signal being split out.
I cannot speak to the long cable runs as my longest run is only about 50 feet, but that run does look great.
My only hangup is that it's pretty clear the manufacturer wants you to use their utility boxes for wiring.Anything else will require some imagination.So if you keep all your RG6/cat5hubs in a cabinet, you may find this a little frustrating to mount.
Otherwise a great piece of equipment.

Electroline EDA FT08100 8-port TV Signal Booster/Amplifier with Active Return Path Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this unit because I have two analog feeds and two QAM digital capture feeds (via an HDHR unit) that I use in conjunction with SageTV for recording television.I also have a cable modem so there's a couple splitters involved.I did purchase good passive splitters (Monster 2 and 3 ways), however the QAM signal quality levels and the modem performance were not ideal.

I got this model because of the cable modem support.Imagine my surprise when the first thing to pop out of the box is a note from the manufacturer that it's best to put your cable modem on it's own line off a splitter and not hook it up to this unit because some signal loss may occur.What the..?!?!?After ranting for a while and generally annoying my wife with my whining I hooked it up anyway and took some measurements.Fortunately their warnings are not necessary - they may want to think about rewording that little note a pinch.

Here's the hard numbers:

The QAM capture signal strength using a Monster 3 way split off the single line coming in my house (I have no up stream splitters - it's all centralized in closet) for the HD ABC feed had a strength of 88 and a signal quality of 92.Putting the one line as the feed into the 8 port amplifier and running the QAM ports off of it the strength jumped to 92 and the signal quality hovered around 94.Nice.Doesn't sound like a huge deal but for HD QAM captures it makes a difference.

I didn't notice any different before or after with the analog channels - I wasn't having a problem with those.

The cable modem was the item I worried about.Downstream from the splitters it was pretty bad - anything would be an improvement.With the outside cable plugged into the Motorola modem directly downstream signal to noise ratio was 38.6 dB (higher is better, anything over 30 and you're aces), the down stream power is .2 dBmV (fine) and the upstream power was 42 dB (anything less than 50 and you're fine).After running it through the 8 port amp the downstream noise ratio was 38.3, down stream power 1.7 and the upstream power stayed at 42.All dandy numbers.I checked the speeds at several sites before and after and they all averaged about 10 meg down and 1.5 meg up across the boards - virtually no difference.Just about exactly as good as a direct connection and much better than down stream from a passive splittler, even a good one.

So - short version I'm extremely happy with the purchase but I'd suggest to the fine folks at Electroline that they rethink their warning note in their box so as not to tick folks off too quickly for no reason.

Product Description:
With the trend of more single family houses being built, Electroline introduces the Flat-Top amplifier to meet the expectation of having cable service in every room in the house. The EDA-FT 08100 Flat-Top is designed for large houses with a cable or off-air drop in every room. The flat top configuration keeps the wiring more compact and neater in both outdoor subscriber box or wall-mounted applications and eliminates the technical problems associated with trying to fit a standard 8 port amplifier into a box that is too small creating crushed and kinked cables that wreak havoc with digital services. Electroline Flat-Top amplifiers are the only amplifiers to offer a configuration with all F-connectors on the bottom edge of the amplifier, facing down. Also, Flat-Top amplifiers come with an active return path which makes managing return signal levels straightforward. With 0 dB of loss in the return path, interactive services can be deployed in any room without rewiring.Features and Specifications: *Number of ports: 8 *Forward gain: 3 dB *Return path insertion loss: 0 dB *Forward passband: 54-1000 MHz *Return passband: 5-42 MHz *Frequency response flatness: ±1 dB *Surge protection (IEEE C62.41-1991, all ports) ring wave: 6 kV, 500 A, loc. B3, combination wave: 6 kV, 3 kA, loc. B3 *Operating temperature: -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to +60°C).

Component Audio Video Distribution Amplifier 1 input x 4 output Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a good basic line amplifier. Unfortunately, you can't adjust individual line levels to compensate for variations in signals - or even reduce the output so as not to overload a line input of another amplifier. As configured from the manufacture this unit lacks the flexibility. If other users have the same problem - you will need to assemble an attenuator network to balance line levels.

Acoustic Research PR-140 Pro Series II Y Adapters Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Works as advertised, good connection.Splits a mono signal into two - perfect for splitting a receiver subwoofer output into two to go into both the L and R inputs of your sub.You don't really need it but it will make the signal almost twice as strong (since the sub normally averages the L and R inputs), so the sub will be louder.

Connections are good quality, and you can unscrew the ends and take a look at the solder (useful if you are concerned that a connection has gone bad).

Arista 18-002 Y Adapter - 2 RCA Female to 1 RCA Male Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a simple RCA splitter. I got these to split off the RCA ports from my video switcher to the TV, so add a set of outputs to the computer, for recording video game output. These things work great, however, we found out that the computer sends horrible noise interference to anything touching it. The cables had nothing to do with it. The cables are a little thin, but given the length, it does not cause issues, unless you have it next to your jacob's ladder or testla coil.

I have to say, these things are great! Very useful when you need them!

9" PCI Express 6-Pin to Two 4-Pin Molex Male Cable with Ferrite Core, Manhattan 375344 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If like me you were really nervous about finding a molex-pcie converter, than you have probably read the crappy reviews on most of them here on amazon. I decided to go with this one, mainly because it has no bad reviews while all the others did.

I am really glad that I made that choice! It was quickly shipped and arrived on my doorstep within a couple of days. It is sleeved with durable plastic which is the first thing that impressed me. I plugged it into two available molex ports, and then into my video card. Ok so the pins on the molex are not the best quality and had a lot of room to move making attaching them difficult, but apart from that installation was easy and when I turned on my computer, it worked without any problems!

Before my XFX video card had been flashing me messages that my card was not getting enough power and so video quality was lowered to protect it. Now I am enjoying my PCIE video card as it was designed.

Don't go for other adapters which have poor quality and are not even designed to fit PCIE cards! This Manhattan cable was just what I needed!

CE LABS 6001 Prograde 1 GHz Bi-Directional RF Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am using this for my CATV that has three splitters after it. The incoming signal was not very strong and after the third splitter, the picture was terrible on one tv.After installing the RF amp, it was beautiful. The CE 6001 has 20 db of gain (more than most other RF amps). I ended up turning the gain down a little (a very useful feature although you need a very small screwdriver to do it) to be sure it did not overload the front end of my tv off the first splitter. I had an RS version (15-2505) previously and it did ok but added a little noise on the weakest signals. That was all plastic and certainly not weatherproof. In contrast, the CE 6001 is a nice, sturdy sealed aluminum case and I could not see any evidence of additional noise on even the weakest channels.
