I purchased this "used" from "J & R Galaxies". It was advertised as "used and tested and repackaged" and for that came with a price reduction. When I obtained this splitter, it appeared to be new. It was perfectly packaged and worked perfectly. I am using this as an HDMI splitter for my home. I have a "Time Warner" cable box with only one HDMI output. I wanted to send that HDMI signal to another TV in my home. I used this powered splitter with a "Media Bridge", 3' cable from the cable box to the splitter and then a PTC, 100', amplified cable run to another TV. This splitter is advertised as "powered" and did indeed come wtih a 5 volt power supply which I of course used. The 100' cable has an amplifier in it as well. This "View HD" splitter has been working perfectly for about a month now. It transmits BOTH video and audio (as HDMI should) perfectly. The 100' cable run is through my basement ceiling and runs the length of my house. There is about a 3 to 4 second delay between channel changes with this powered splitter AND the 100', amplified cable run. I suspect that is because the HDMI signal must need to be synchronized if going through amps. I tried this without the 100' cable using another 3' cable from the splitter to a TV and that dropped the delay in channel changing to about 1 or 2 seconds. That does not bother me but if you are a "channel surfer" and expect to rapidly "click" through channels, this might be a problem for you. I suspect this would be a characteristic of any amplifed splitter/switch or cable. After shopping for a 4 port splitter, I found this to be an excellent value and it works perfectly for me. I have not tried this with a full 1080p, HDMI signal, only with by cable box output but so far, it works perfectly for me.
UPDATE, 4 YEARS LATER: Yikes, it is hard to believe that it has been 4 YEARS that I have been using this HDMI splitter. It is now March of 2014 and I am very pleased to report that IT IS STILL WORKING FLAWLESSLY. This was a very great deal. Remember, I purchased this "used" and it arrived and appeared "new". Either way, this device just works and here it is, 4 years later with constant use of splitting my "Time Warner Cable" TV box output for four televisions and this splitter continues to work perfectly.
I would most heartily recommend this product.
UPDATE: Wow, it's hard to believe that I purchased this device on February 16th, 2010. THAT WAS 7 YEARS AGO. This little box is still quietly sitting behind my "Time Warner Cable" box and splitting my one output from that box for my three TV sets. It has been working flawlessly for these last 7 years. I remain incredibly pleased with this device and still heartily recommend this product.
