I got this HDMI Switch (Fosmon 5x1 with AC power adapter) because I ran out of HDMI ports on my HDTV. I did a lot of research before buying this. It can be run passively (without the AC power supply) or with the AC power plugged in. In passive mode, the switch gets power from the various devices hooked to it via the HDMI cable. The reviews that I read indicated that passive switches are sometimes unreliable, apparently because some devices send inadequate power through the HDMI cable. As a result, switches with their own AC power supplies tend to be more reliable. That's why I spent the extra few dollars for the version with the AC adapter.
My setup consists of a Dish Hopper Satellite Cable box, a Wii-U gaming system, and a Sony BluRay player. I have the Dish Hopper hooked to Port 1 and the Wii-U hooked to Port 2 (the BluRay player is still connected directly to the TV). When the switch is hooked up this way, Port 1 (the Dish Hopper) is the default port and stays on as long as no other port devices are activated. When I turn the Wii-U console on, it automatically switches over to it (Port 2). When the Wii-U is turned off, it automatically switches back to the Dish Hopper. Works every time like a charm.
Every once in a while, I want to briefly see what's on TV while leaving the Wii-U is still on (like when I pause in the middle of a game level). That's when I use the remote to manually switch over to the Dish Hopper, and then back to the Wii-U (there is also a button on top of the switch for manual operation if you lose the remote). The remote IR sensor that plugs into the switch is small, unobtrusive, and comes with 3M double-stick tape for mounting. I actually attached mine to the underside of my entertainment center where it's totally unnoticeable.
This thing has worked perfectly since it was installed a month ago. If I had to lodge any complaints, they are 1) the remote seems a little flimsy and must be pointed directly at the IR sensor to work, and 2) the switch has a VERY bright blue LED power indicator that can light up a dark room. However, given the the inexpensive price of this switch, I didn't take any stars off for these issues. As far as the bright LED goes, just stick a piece of electrical tape over it if it bothers you.
I haven't tried this switch without the AC adapter, but intend to at some point. It would be nice to not have to power this thing 24/7, but I'm willing to pay for the small increase in my monthly power bill to get 100% reliability of the automatic switching function. I should note that most other HDMI switches (especially passively powered ones) seem to have problems with automatic switching with devices that always send a signal to the TV, even when they're powered off (like the Dish Hopper). However, I can report that this switch has no problem with that as long as the Hopper is plugged into Port 1. I have a feeling that automatic switching might be a problem if you have more than one device that constantly sends a signal to your TV. In that case, you'll probably have no choice but to use the switch manually with either the remote or button.

Great (5x1 - 5 inputs to 1 output) HDMI solution for the price!
Very competitively priced, and great value for the functionality it delivers. I've got 2 of these - one I use in my home office (seen in photo) and one I use with my home entertainment system to route HDMI signals from Chromecast, console and Apple TV inputs. Call-out to how the unit works regarding automatic switching: this is built in to recognize, and switch to the newest signal i.e. if you turn on a device, the switcher sees its input signal and automatically switches to the recent device's input (in my home entertainment setup). If you time it right, this saves you having to know which input is what - just power up your TV FIRST, then power up whatever device you want to watch. Otherwise, switching is a breeze - sometimes taking a bit of a lag for the IR signal to register. Line of sight is important, to state the obvious with IR, so make sure your sensor is within clear view of where you will be operating the remote. With as many inputs as this supports, another callout is that you will want to learn what goes where - my household is constantly confused by which input is the PlayStation, vs. the Chromecast, and so on. All-told, great device for the price.
