Page 1 of HDMI switch box (3 way) with remote £9.99 @ Aldi 24/09/

Aldi are selling a HDMI switch box with remote for under a tenner from Thursday 24th September.
Have to say, I think its an ugly looking thing, but if you need one you could hide it behind your tv.

BUMP

Just a reminder, this is available tomorrow.
Had a quick look around for another retailer selling something similar, but couldn`t find one anywhere near this cheap. There is one in Argos- its better looking, but then again, it costs £58.69 :o

no prob.

I`ve just picked one of these up from my local Aldi & for £9.99 they are absolutley brilliant..Worth every penny (for not having to venture behind the TV everyime i alternate between my V+ box & PS3!) :D

Thanks for the heads up pat-w! :)

just got mine too.

won`t be able to test it until i get home though :(

@ mc7t - there`s no power adaptor with mine although there is
a 5v input on the same side as the HDMI output. the box says
that it doesn`t require external power, so what is the input for?

does yours work without an external PSU?

oh.. the switcher is "real tiny like" very, very small and discreet.

Ste.

can`t understand the need for a 5V input... this little baby works fine
drawing power from HDMI.

excellent spot pat... don`t have to keep messing behind the tv to
switch HDMI sources anymore!! yay!

that`s interesting, I didn`t know that was possible, I assumed it had to have a power point.
Glad it works okay

Hi matey..

No idea whatsoever what the 5v imput is for, it just works perfect..A right good bargain!

Cheers! :)
