Candyman,

YES I DO!!!

You'll be happy with it.

It's given me no fits or any problems of any kind.

I've got my Xbox, PS2, and 360 all living nicely on it.
The ethernet jack was a nice touch, but is only useful if you have everything in the same room.... which i don't, but the wireless connections work well enough.

Are you using the COMPONENT's on it? Are you using top of the line cables or 3rd party? I have Monster Component for PS2 and the MS Components for 360.

How many systems do you have hooked up to it?

Right now I've just got my 360 and my dvd player hooked up to it, but I did have my cable box hooked up to it too and never had any problems

Re: Pelican HD System Selector Universal

I have the Gamestop version. It's cool. Sooner or later I will get better cables for it. But no problems so far. I have my 360..Xbox..PS2 (s-vid) on it.

definitely the way to go, especially if your hdtv only has one component input like mine...i know, i went cheap until i move into a new apartment.

Well, I went and bought this today. My TV has 2 components, but I have too many things to hookup, XBOX, XBOX360, DVD, and Comcast DVR box. I have my 360 on the 1st component hookup on the TV and the System Selector on the second. So far, the games I tried on the XBOX look fine and I checked out a DVD and it looked nice. There is a little bit of interference, but not too noticeable.

This is a good alternative for me until I could scrape up some money to buy a new receiver that actually has component and s-video switch box built in. This way there will be no signal interference.

Thanks again man, I almost bought the $100 they sell but this is a better alternative.

Quick question for you....

Are you running your XBox 360 and TV at 1080i or 720p via this switch? I have multiple component inputs in my TV, but only one HDTV input.

I have 2 inputs on my hdtv.

My 360 is at 1080i, but the 360 isn't hooked to the system selector, it's directly to the tv.

My xbox, dvd player, and dvr boxe are setup to the box. The xbox is running at 720p.

The more I watch my dvd's with this selector, the less I like it. Before my movies were crystal clear, and now I notice certain colors are much more vibrant....which I wonder if it's good or bad. I feel like there is some grain not noticeable to others, but I'm a Hi-Def nut, so I notice these things.

This selector is supposed to be good since it's powered. It's by Pelican, $99.

Re: Pelican HD System Selector Universal

Another update.

The components that came w/ the switch box are a cheaper set. I'm guessing that this might be some of the problem. If I buy Monster comps to replace the set from the tv to the selector, it may solve the problem.
