LinXcel HS-41A0 4 Ports HDMI Switch With One 6ft. HDMI Certified Cable

LinXcel HS-41A0 4 Ports HDMI Switch With One 6ft. HDMI Certified CableIt does what it is supposed to do, but it takes a good 6-8 seconds to switch between inputs. Also, note that this is HDMI 1.2a, not the latest version.

Update:

I have been using this switch for almost a year now. AT&T U-Verse (Pay TV over IP) DVR box, Philips upconverting DVD player, and Canon HD Video cam. Still takes 6-8 seconds to change between inputs. Occasionally have to power cycle the unit, which isn't a big deal for me, but try to explain it to the wife over the phone. Occasionally I get a HDCP error on my tv, and I have to cycle through all the inputs to clear it. Still better than swapping cables or buying a new tv with more HDMI inputs.

I have just purchased a Samsung Blu-Ray player, and this switch does not work with it. The connection cycles on and off continuously, even on the player's setup menu. I am afraid I need to find a new solution now.
