The good: Belkin's PureAV three-port switcher lets you toggle between three HDMI A/V sources. It can pass all current digital audio and video formats, including uncompressed multichannel audio and 1080p HD video. The unit is tiny but well built, and it ships with a remote that offers discrete input access.
The bad: Having three HDMI inputs is great, but four or five would've been even better. Similar switchers are available for less. And there's no power switch, so pulling the plug is the only way to turn the unit off.
The bottom line: The Belkin PureAV switch delivers an easy and affordable way to add HDMI capacity to your home theater.
