Convenient but perfectible switch Concept

This mini box for connecting 3 multimedia boxes on one screen, so as digital LCD, LED, OLED, with at least one HDMI socket as all recent TVs with Freeview TVs. His switch selects the signal source of restraint, multimedia box, multimedia box / HD, etc.
Under these conditions, a power strip socket HDMI 1.4 is good but with autoswich it is much more convenient because this device is intended to be hidden in an inaccessible location. Why hide the discreet box? These multiple connections generates a forest of 4 HDMI cable. That's a lot and particularly unattractive in a clean room ...
Furthermore, the use of HDMI cables but rigid quality is strongly discouraged for this type of device because fired from all sides, this switcher will be more difficult "ranger". The autoswitch term is a tautology because a switch is always self.

Reviews of switcher: Fortunately this mini box has a small button to "force" the signal from the HDMI input selected to be output to the monitor / TV. Why fortunately? Because the flap "auto" matic switch is perfectible. It does not work consistently. It is then that the hand makes its way amidst the forest cable to press the right button. Under these conditions, interest becomes very limited. Worse, the button on the control itself is random, which shows that the switch is improved. In this case it continues to guide a ghost signal despite the closure of the source .. will require manually disconnect the HDMI cable manager in the pre-mentioned conditions. Horror! It is even less convenient than handling of a button.
Given the fairly good reviews, I guess it is defective switcher I will return because I did not need a HDMI power strip that is of little interest.
