brian berube Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I have tried a couple of HDMI switchers in the past week. I amhooking up a streaming blu-ray player--LG 390--and a satellite box tomy projector. I have tried different HDMI cables and I keep gettinglines running through my picture. Anyone have a similar problem and afix? Anyone using an HDMI switcher they are particularly please with? By the way, the streaming BluRay player is magnificent. I am preparingto cut off the satellite service. Was primarily using the satellite towatch movies, or HBO (mostly boxing) and with the streaming LG I haveaccess to Netflix, Cinema Now, VuDu, You Tube, etc. I believe this isthe future of television. For some time I had wondered why youcouldn't just go on to your cable/satellite box and bring up any movieyou wanted, pay for it and watch it. With this streaming player youjust about can. Netflix offers a large number of movies that you can"watch instantly" and you just go to their website, set up a queue,then go to your blu ray player--for me it is connected to my projectorand the movies are waiting for me to watch anytime I want. It isgreat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Is it an exceptionally long run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian berube Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 The run from the projector to the switch is about 17 feet. The run from devices to the switcher is no longer than 6 feet. I have tried a couple of different cables and different lengths from the devices to the switcher--no difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Have you tried each run individually with the switcher out of the equation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian berube Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Oh yeah. In fact, I have been running them without the switcher all along. I just decided I was tired of manually changing the cable when I wanted to go from my streaming blu ray player to satellite. The HDMI switcher at least theoretically is a great plan. I just have to get one that works properly. Maybe I will start working backwards--connecting the switcher at the projector and do the long cable runs to the devices. Ah well.
