Not HDCP compliant as claimed.

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2017

Length: 3-PORTVerified Purchase

The box on this product indicates that it is supposed to be HDCP 1.2 compliant. I recently tried to stream a video through the Roku box I had connected to this switch, only to be informed that some part of my connection was not HDCP compliant. I figured it was an older HDMI cable I had used to connect this switch to my TV. I tried a direct connection between my Roku and the TV with a newer cable and it worked fine, so I ordered a new cable for the switch output and expected that the problem would be resolved.

Not so. Even using a brand new cable with the switch, the HDCP error persisted. Wasted time, and wasted money on the switch and a cable I didn't actually need.

Smart, Simple, Automatically Functional, Real Problem Solver

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2018

Length: 5 PortVerified Purchase

I have 3 HDMI ports on the Vizio flat screen used in our bedroom, and I found myself challenged for two reasons (a shortage of input ports, along with one bad one). I have 5 input devices that I would like to use and of the 3 ports on the Vizio, I found my HDMI 3 input was a bad port that results in a very sub standard picture. This is true of anything I run through HDMI 3 on this TV, whether it be cable, DVD player, FireTV, Chromecast, or PC. They all are affected with poor image quality on port #3. So essentially I had only 2 HDMI ports that I could use.

My wife is technically challenged and gets easily confused on how everything works, along with having a hard time in trying to keep up with the complexities of my multiple Audio Video setups. So, I put a "Post It" note on top of this switcher so she will know which input to press for the various sources which we transmit to the Vizio flat screen. In the past, with the Vizio TV's remote, we always had to pull up the "Input" selection window on the TV's screen and switch from input to input, on screen, selecting between TV, "Component Video, HDMI 1, HDMI 2 and HDMI 3. With this device we no longer have to do that since I have run the single output from this switcher, directly to HDMI 1 on the Vizio, and never have to select any input whatsoever, since this switcher does everything automatically, as explained below.

Realizing I needed a solution, I set out to find a good switcher which could be mechanically or manually switched. I didn't need fancy. I just wanted functional and reliable. I looked at reviews for many makes and models and found far too many 1 Star reviews on switchers which had hundreds of reviews as a baseline for adequate feedback. I was excited when I found this one, due to its much lower percentage of 1 Star reviews and its much broader range of capabilities...including being able to be switched from a distance, with a handheld remote, as well as by a button on the front of the switcher, in case the remote malfunctioned (which mine has not, to date). And I really got excited when the product description claimed to automatically sense inputs when a device is activated with an outbound signal, which does not require you to even touch the Kinivo's remote to select the port that you are desiring. For instance, when I turn on the DirectTV cable box, the switcher automatically detects that and switches to the HDMI port that cable is hooked to. An LED light switches from red (connected) to blue (activated), indicating that the cable port is now receiving a signal, and is sensed as such. Other ports remain red, when no signal is coming from the device to which they are connected. Or they are dark if an HDMI cable is not connected at both the output source and an input on the Kinivo.

In the attached photos you will note several LED indicator lights. Starting from the far left and moving to the right on the Kinivo box, you will see the following 7 indicator light positions (2 of which are not "on", in the photo, as explained below):

1) Is Power. It is blue for "On" when plugged into an outlet. There are no lights at all if not plugged in.

2) Is a blue light indicating the main "Output" from the Kinivo to the flat screen is active and connected. If your HDMI cord is loose at either end, or disconnected at either end, then there will be NO LIGHT on the "Output" position.

3) Is a blue light, indicating that HDMI 1 is active with a signal being transmitted (from my DirectTV cable box), which is automatically sensed, since at the time of this photo, cable was "on" and all other devices were off, or disconnected.

4) Is red, because I have a Chromecast plugged into HDMI 2, but no signal is being transmitted to the Chromecast. When I choose to "cast" content or streaming from my PC or from my Samsung phone, then that signal transmission will activate HDMI 2 (automatically sensed by the Kinivo), and that 4th light will turn blue, while other lights will go to or stay red.

5) Is red, because I have a FireTV plugged into HDMI 3, but no signal is being transmitted to the FireTV input. When I activate FireTV with the Fire remote, it will activate HDMI 3 as well (automatically sensed) and that light will turn blue as the signal from HDMI 3 goes to the TV. And as before, all other input lights will be red, or dark, if not connected with cords.

6) Is dark, with no light at all, because I have my PC connected to the Kinivo through HDMI 4, but I don't have the HDMI cord plugged into the PC, thus the Kinivo does not automatically sense this input and will not turn to red (as an inactive input), until I connect the HDMI cord to my PC. I don't keep the PC's HDMI cord connected at all times because it overrides and negates the audio going to my PC's studio monitors, in favor of sending audio down the HDMI stream. And it would send a constant "on" output signal to the Kinivo, in conflict with any other devices trying to transmit through the Kinivo.

7) Is dark because I have HDMI 5 connected to my DVD player, but in this photo, the DVD player is off, so no signal is being sensed by the Kinivo. As soon as I turn on the DVD player it will turn red to indicate connection, but there is no outbound signal until I insert a DVD to play, at which time it will then automatically sense the signal coming from the DVD Player and will switch to blue and transmit through HDMI 5 to the Vizio flat screen.

I find this to be a rather exceptional device considering its well thought out simplicity and intuitive design for function and use. I have two other main viewing rooms in my house. One is a large flat screen in my living room, which has 4 sources that we use (DirectTV, DVD player, Fire Stick, and Chromecast). And there is my home theater room which has a 144" projection screen, driven by a very high end Epson 3D HD projector. And both of those rooms have component stereo systems linked to their sources, with large floor standing speakers (legacy JBL studio monitors, and Cerwin Vega professional grade speakers).

After purchase of this first Kinivo to see if it lived up to its claims for function and ease of use, and having discovered that it does, I just ordered 2 more of the 5 input Kinivo switchers, from Amazon for these other two viewing rooms. I love this device and only having to deal with one HDMI input for any TV screen we are watching. Time will tell, whether it is durable and reliable in the long run, but "out of the box" it has certainly measured up to my expectations, as a gadget loving consumer, looking for anything that can make life easier and simpler.

This is a horrible product. It worked fine when I first got ...

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2017

Length: 5 PortVerified Purchase

This is a horrible product. It worked fine when I first got it for about a month. I have my Chromecast, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and XBox 360 hooked up to it. During the first month, the box automatically switched seamlessly to whatever device I was using. Then, the problems began.

While I was playing PS4, it started shifting over to Chromecast in the middle of playing a game, so I would have to switch the box back to the input that the PS4 was using. I thought the problem was the Chromecast (which always has an active signal), so I unplugged it. This still did not resolve the issue. The PS4 would still cut out- this time with just a blank screen that appeared for about a second before switching back to the PS4.

As a result of this happening, I thought it was an HDCP handshake issue with the PS4. I turned HDCP off on the PS4- this still did not resolve the issue. In fact, the problems got worse. Now I am unable to even change over to the input on my TV that the switcher is using- the input's availability on the tv input menu flashes on and off.

I have tested 3 different hdmi cables. I have tried switching around the devices hooked up to it. I have tried hooking the box up to a different input on my tv. I have tried powering it off and unhooking everything and then hooking it all up and powering on 20 minutes later.

This thing is an absolute waste of money and a piece of junk. Do not buy this product.

Auto switching CANNOT be turned off... and that's BAD

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2019

Length: 5 PortVerified Purchase

TL;DR- At least with NSwitch and PS4, the auto-switching DOES. NOT. WORK. RIGHT.

I pray this review doesn't find the bottom of the pile, as you need to know what you're getting yourself into BEFORE you buy this item. My setup: N Switch, PS4. That's it. The auto switching just. would. not. stop. switching. I didn't do a LOT of troubleshooting, but the best thing I can determine is that one or both of those items (the Switch seemed to be the biggest culprit) just wouldn't give up control. Steps: Plug in hub, plug in HDMI to out put to TV. Plug in Switch and PS4. Turn on PS4. Flawless. Turn on Switch. Flawless for about 1 minute and then black screen for 30 seconds and back to Switch. Repeat until turning Switch off. Lights on front indicated hub was attempting to return input to the PS4 input. OK, maybe input 1 is a higher priority than 2. I swapped the inputs. Repeat procedure; same result. OK, maybe there is some setting on PS4? I turned off every auto-whatever I could find. Nope. Same. Alright, maybe it's the order in which I turn it on? Left PS4 in input 2 and Switch in 1. Turned on Switch first. Turned on PS4. Same result, but this time it was the Switch which kept trying to "steal" the active input. Turned off every auto-whatever I could find on the Switch. Same result. Finally I gave up and boxed it up to RTM. I'll go buy a manual version instead.

This whole thing could have been solved if there were just a button/switch on the box to turn off/on auto-switching. But alas...

No service centre of Kinivo company in India so avoid buying it.

Reviewed in India on October 14, 2018

Length: 5 PortVerified Purchase

Working good for around 7 months after that it's not working properly. I connected both my laptop & fire stick with this switch but after 7 months Laptop is not showing in my Tv & fire stick started restarting automatically. Called the amazon customer cr regarding this issue they suggested to take this device to the service centre as it have 1 year warrenty. I asked them to give me the detail of KINIVO service centre but told this KINIVO company do not have any service centre in India which is really very disappointing. Its really waste of money. Being so expensive product but no service centre in India is pathetic. Make a great mistake.

A Good Switcher Box Let Down by Poor Build Quality

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 6, 2016

Length: 3-PORTVerified Purchase

I bought this switcher box as I only have 1 HDMI socket on my monitor and wanted to plug in my Amazon Fire TV stick and my PS3 at the same time.

The Kinivo box was easy to unpack. Inside there is the switcher box, a mains power lead and a compact remote to switch inputs. There are no HDMI cables in the box so you will have to supply your own. Fitting the box was easy and I plugged in my 2 devices. The box instantly detected when a device turned on and would switch to that input. You could also use the remote supplied to switch inputs manually or you can use the buttons on the front of Kinivo box. It has a blue indicator lights to show that the device is powered and what input is selected. It worked really well with my PS3 and Fire TV stick.

It worked well but not for long. The build quality of the device was poor and this showed as within a few months the device became unusable. After some extensive troubleshooting checking my cables and devices it was the Kinivo box that had stopped working properly. It would work but only if you had 1 device connected to it, which defeats the point of having a HDMI switcher. As soon as I plugged in more than one device the box stopped working. It's disappointing as it did work well for a bit. Now I am left with a box that doesn't work and looking for a better replacement.

Nice little box, great quality, responsive remote.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 21, 2017

Length: 5 PortVerified Purchase

Does exactly what it says on the box switches HDMI via 5 input ports. Image quality is crystal clear, no issues there! Box looks very stylish and nice enough quality for the price. Switching channels is fast although on the channel with my firestick it takes a couple of seconds to show an image on screen, don't know if that's something to do with how the firestick wakes maybe? The remote is very responsive unlike some I have tried, bought this to automate alexa with broad link mini 3 and it works good, so if your looking for a hdmi switch for broadlink devices to control then this is most definitely the one. Included with the switch box is a slim remote, uk power adapter (which is needed) and also a UK to EU adapter which I have to say is handy to use for other things if travelling to EU, basically a travel adapter for free!

Great concept - limited practical application

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 10, 2016

Length: 5 PortVerified Purchase

This is on the surface a neat enough package, however there are some drawbacks.
1) The output socket and input 5 socket are on the side. Because it uses Infra Red the Kinivo needs to be visible. Having HDMI cables sticking out each side is both unattractive and makes it impossible to put it alongside anything else.
2) The auto switching sounds nice in theory, but can be irritating at times. Like all "intelligent" features, it would be better if there was a way to disable it.
3) It doesn't work with my BT Youview (Humax DTR-2100) box and Phillips TV (32PFL4258). Yes the TV picture gets through but a message box appears in the middle of the TV picture saying that the necessary copyright protection information is not available. I take this to be that the HDMI hub is not HDCP compliant with the BT Youview box. The message box won't go away.
4) The LEDs on the front showing which attached sources are live are nice and bright when showing blue, but not so easy to see when showing red.
I bought the Kinivo because I have 4 boxes with HDMI outlets and my TV has only 3 HDMI inlets. I had hoped to put all 4 HDMI sources through the Kinivo and do away with the need to use the TV remote to change HDMI input. In practise I still have to use the TV remote to switch between the BT Youview box and the Kinivo to which the other boxes are connected. This is rather a let down and not what I had for the money spent.

Great little gadget!! :-) xx

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 28, 2016

Length: 3-PORTVerified Purchase

This is a great little gadget!!

I purchased it to replace a 3 way splitter that had stopped automatically changing ports (meaning I had to reach behind the TV to manually switch it over). After a bit of research I realised that the problem was probably due to the equipment connected to the splitter (Amazon Fire TV & BT YouView Box). Apparently the YouView box continues to draw power even on standby so the splitter won't auto change to the Fire TV box.

Having a splitter with remote has solved this issue completely - it doesn't matter now which device the splitter has selected, I can simply (from the comfort of my sofa) press the remote & it switches to my desired port!!

The box itself is compact, well made and has blue led lights to indicate which port is 'live'.

I would happily recommend this product to others, it's easy to set up & simple to use.

One important point to note though is you will need a hdmi cable to connect the box to the TV as this is not supplied.

Thank you for reading. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask & I will try to help.
