New A/V receiver, Old Wii, original a/v cable no work - lol. This did the trick, graphics aren't great cuz Wii is OLD, but now I can play my old games and they are visible and legible, etc. Even better, I got it open box and saved a few $$$.

had another brand which decided to fail. Dirt Maybe. Rocketfish is consistent in quality and function. Might be able to find an equivalent item at a lower price but when I need something, I can count on best buy. And, I was able to buy it open box and save a few $$. Thanks BB.

Low Noise, Right Impedance, Low attenuation. What more can you ask? They make other splitters as well that are equally as good. Note, if you do not use one of the out-going taps, you really ought to screw a 75ohm impedance load/cap onto it to prevent reflection. Not a great selection of splitters to choose from so this is a bit overpriced - the "gold" is really superflous.

no problems. seem to have a bit more strength at hinges than the brand names as these have at least some chance of surviving a drop and not breaking.

no problems, only get 1 coaster out of, say 40. Turn down your burn speed to no more than 6x, walk away and you'll have a completed disc that works. Have not had one deteriorate on me yet. should be good for 7-10 years.

Download app, website walks you through configuration Specific to your equipment. After a couple three times tweaking settings, works well. Sometimes have to pick the device to control as it seems to lose track of what you're doing, particularly if you have an amp and other equipment configured. Great value for the $$$$. If you Have Comcast, BUY THIS!

What's not so great: Often have to manually select device to control

Does it work with a 5.1 audio system? Thanks

yes. choose which audio track you desire. dvd player handles many audio formats. use an optical cable if you can into your a/v receiver in addition to the HDMI to get slightly better audio quality. You are able to set audio delay to lipsync or set it to automatic.

will it turn 4 devices on at same time also comcast cable box to change channels

Go to the logitech website and verify they have your devices in their database - they should. Straightforward to program via their website IF you have written down your connections by device and port name/label. You create an account with logitech, tell it which remote you own and what devices you have. Their directions are pretty good. I have mine set by what they call "activity" e.g. dvd movie with amp, stereo, just tv. Once programmed the remote knows which boxes need to come on and with which inputs selected.

Does this work with an older Wii System?

We have a VCR, Blue-Ray, Apple TV, Roku, Wii and ATT Cable box and would want to be able to control all of these. Is this possible?

need help with my remote control see below

I HAVE A UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL RF 20. THE UNVERSAL POWER BLASTER IS LOCATED IN THE BASEMENT. SEVERAL KEYS ON THE REMOTE CONTROL ARE WORN WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO OPERATE THE TV. THEY NO LONGER MAKE THE UNIVERSAL RF 20. DO YOU CARRY A REMOTE THAT IS COMPATIABLE WITH WHAT I HAVE
Harmony 650 works well. Count the number of devices you wish to control and make your decision based on that. Easy to program via computer and USB cable. I advise you crawl behind your electronics with a flashlight, pen and paper and write down the connection locations and labels prior to programming your remote.

This would be used with outdoor TV antenna,....
not recommended for outdoors as they don't have sleeves over the connections. you can find splitters for outdoor use.

Bidirectional?

Creating a MoCA network requires bidirectional splitters. Is this splitter bidirectional?
yes, it's a splitter and not a filter

what coaxial splitter should i use.

I have a 120 foot cable run to the upstairs of my garage. Ive got 2 splitters in my basement. The tv in the garage is getting some blank channels. Whats the best splitter for a 120 ft run
The fewer connectors and splitters in-line the better. Think where your "home-run" drop is (back of cable box or internet box usually), try to run that with no or one split or connector. Split the rest off a single splitter if possible. 120' is nothing if you've got good cables (If it's less than 3 years old to pick a number you should be OK).
