5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly installed between HTPC and A/V Receiver, April 9, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: HDmi Detective Plus (Electronics)
I was hesitant to buy this part mostly because of the price. As it is, building my Blu-ray HD HTPC ended up costing me about 3 times what I had originally anticipated! Here's yet another 0+ dollars ... "will it work and will it be worth it?" I wondered. Bottom line, I'm very happy I purchased this item because it does exactly what it is supposed to do.

I was having problems with my HTPC setup. I run HDMI carrying audio and video from my HTPC's motherboard to a A/V Receiver. Then, another HDMI cord goes from the Receiver to my HDTV. Before installing the HDMI Detective, the problem would occur whenever (a) my HTPC would go to sleep/standby and then I would wake it up; or (b) I would turn off my Receiver or HDTV and then turn them back on. In these scenarios, once I woke up the PC or turned on the Receiver/TV I would no longer have a video or audio signal via my HDMI cords. One solution was to do a hard restart on the HTPC, which isn't horrible, but certainly is a pain in the butt. The other solution was to leave all three components running 24/7, which I quickly ruled out as an option since cumulatively they consume about 1000 watts and we all know electricity isn't free.

So, I purchased the HDMI Detective and installed it between my HTPC and the Receiver. Plugging in the Detective was easy and the initial programing took about 5 minutes. This is a very easy-to-use device.

With the HDMI Detective in place between my HTPC and Receiver, now everything works more like a traditional PC. I can put my HTPC to sleep and when I wake it up the Receiver instantly sees the HDMI connection and sends the subsequent signal on to the HDTV. Also, when I turn off and turn back on my Receiver or HDTV, everything picks up on the HDMI signal as if nothing were the matter.

In conclusion, the HDMI Detective is an expensive item that you likely didn't anticipate needing to buy for your setup. But since you're reading this review you must be having HDMI problems. The HDMI Detective is 100% worth the price. I did some hefty research and I could not find any other items on the market that do the same thing that the HDMI Detective does, so that makes it even more worth the price. It is compact, easy to use, and most importantly, works perfectly.

Stop stressing, buy the HDMI Detective. It will solve your HDMI HARDWARE problems. Solving SOFTWARE problems is another story for another time. :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Solved blank screen problem, February 28, 2011

I no longer see the blank screen, signal loss, or loss of audio problems I had switching my TV source over to my HTPC. With this device, my TV and HTPC can get on the same page in about 4 seconds, which is a huge improvement from the 10-20 seconds it took before, if I was lucky. Minus one star because the instructions were confusing. Its not clear enough which devices should be powered on or off at each stage. After 4-5 attempts, I found it worked if I followed this sequence exactly:

1. With your TV and your source/HTPC powered on and all working well, disconnect the HDMI cable between them.
2. Connect the TV to the HDMI Detective Plus output port.
3. Connect the HDMI Detective Plus power adapter. The light comes on.
4. Push the programming button. Wait for the blinking light to go solid green.
5. Unplug the power adapter. You don't need it anymore; it's just for programming.
6. Plug your source/HTPC into the HDMI Detective Plus input port. You're done.

Note that you never turn off your HTPC or TV. Don't power off or restart your source as the instructions say.

5.0 out of 5 stars HDMI is a Time Vampire w/ HTPC ... buy this and save time with EDID Problems!!!, January 3, 2010

Just like the previous reviewer, I was hesitant to spend another 0 on a HTPC that was already slightly over budget. But after the countless hours of problems, and updating drivers, I was sick of it. I decided to bite the bullet, suck it up, and spend another 0. Probably the best 0 I've spent!!! It's easy to setup, and does exactly what it's supposed to do! If you have a HTPC, and run HDMI, and have problems, buy this!

The unit comes with a power adapter, BUT IT'S ONLY REQUIRED DURING PROGRAMMING, no power needed after programmed!
