just curious if this switcher would work with the firetv? I have only one HDMI input on my tv and am hoping a switcher would solve my problem. thanks

Honesty...I have no idea. I just know that it blow out my hdmi port on my tv. So yes...my TV broke. And I was very angry. Granted my TV was older but still a plasma flat screen. So I would recommend it for anyone. I contacted the selling and amazon with no response and no one knew what I was talking about. So no....don't get it.

No clue what firetv is but this switch is intended to be used for adding addational devices when you only have one input port. So I would say yes.

I used mine with a blu-ray player, and a Roku. Worked like a champ. Wouldn't think it would be any problem for you.

This switch should work. I use it to swap between my playstation, Laptop and Apple TV. Only issue is that you have to press the button to switch inputs. It auto switches to the active HDMI cable but as some devices aren't completely silent when off its not perfect.

I am having this exact same issue. I know this is an older posting but I thought I would see if I can ressurect it. I find that if I go to hdmi control and turn the switching off and then back on again it comes to life. sometimes. sometimes it just starts working after a while like it has to warm up or something. did any of you guys figure out what was going on?

I have just tried that and it worked. I normally use a HDMI input but my TV comes with a DVI input connector so I tried the DVI input and there was no problem. My suggestion is that you 1) turn off the HDMI splitter and all devices connected to the HDMI splitter, 2) turn on all devices connected to the HDMI splitter and then 3) turn on the HDMI splitter.

UPDATE: I purchased this remote/receiver combo and can confirm that it does work to control the Amazon FireTV product. According to the below link, yes, this is the correct 2nd gen MCE receiver that should work with AFTV. I am pondering purchasing myself as I want to control AFTV via IR and this is the only way I have seen so far to do this. http://www.googletvforum.org/forum/amazon-fire-tv/9390-fire-tv-tips.html#ftip10tip5 If you happen to try it, please reply and let everyone know how it works...

It should work for the fire stick. But the one I bought would only work half the time. The one I got to work great is {View HD HDMI to Composite | AV Universal Converter for PAL & NTSC Standard TV (HDMI to AV Converter Metal Case (VHD-168)}. It cost more but will work.

This will connect with only hdmi devices. However it acts as an input on your tv. So instead of using your tv you use this to change inputs. So if your using the receiver as a surround sound no it won't. I run an optical cable from my tv to my receiver so I can have surround on all devices. I use this for all my other stuff and it works great. So if your wanting to plug it into the switch it'll work but only for that device on that input.

i am not sure, but i dont know how it can. it is used to take in a signal from a cellphone tower and send the 4g or 3g signal to a computer in the form of the internet. i would not think that it can work with fire tv. i would say to be sure, contact amazon customer service and then you will know 100% for sure one way or the other.

I have slit my BluRay and Roku components with this switcher and it is working well. The BluRay is position #1 and the Roku player is #3. It is such a simple connection, I can't offer you any help. Good luck.

Works just fine for me! It enables me to view my Fire HD on a TV. Of course the TV must have the HDMI input.

No - this is one input to many outputs. You need an HDMI Switch - "HDMI 5x1 5 Port Switch/Switcher with IR Remote Support 3D" copy this into the search there is one showing for about $12.99 and is part of Amazon prime, it should work - here is the link not sure if amazon will let me send to you: http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Switch-Switcher-Remote-Support/dp/B00264NZWS/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1360551386&sr=8-5&keywords=hdmi+switch This one allows you upto 5 inputs. Sounds like it shoud select automatically - if not does have manual. THis is probably more basic but depends how much $$ you want to spend for bells and whistles. Let me know if you have other questions. Good Luck.

I'm using it with my Amazon fire stick to an old tv with no HDMI port and it works fine!

This device always sends the input signal to both outputs - there is no switch involved. But I'm not sure why you care. If you're watching one TV the other TV is turned off so why does it matter that the HDMI signal is present at it's input? I use this spitter to sent the signal to a projector and to a TV. I never use both simultaneously. So what? Perhaps you can find a pure HDMI switch that uses no power at all and perhaps costs less money, but there will be some signal loss that may or may not affect picture quality.

The Kindle Fire HD has a micro HDMI output (non HD Fire does not). I think you'd need an adapter to make it work, though they are cheap (few bucks). Something like this I think would work: HDMI to Micro HDMI F/M Adapter

Sorry for the confusion but Fire TV is absolutely compatible with this TV. Connect the Fire TV to any one of the 3 HDMI ports and enjoy!

No. Mine is working beautifully between FireTV and AppleTV(Gen 3). Add - The switch is connected to a 2014 Panasonic Smart LED TV and the 2 devices mentioned.

No you need to search on Amazon for an HDMI Converter that works with your tv's inputs. Chromecast HDMI to HDMI switch = HDMI output Chromcast HDMI to HDMI Converter = Older TV's get picture

Apple TV yes. Not sure about HDMI switcher, it probably would because it has a learn function.
