Bah, I just checked out a switcher from Monoprice that's  1.3 compliant for less than $100!  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[citykids]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 11th 2008 10:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Gefen intros v1.3-compliant 1:10 HDMI Distribution Amplifier and 1:5 HDMI Splitter]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/11/gefen-intros-v1-3-compliant-1-10-hdmi-distribution-amplifier-and/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/11/gefen-intros-v1-3-compliant-1-10-hdmi-distribution-amplifier-and/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's not a switcher but a splitter.   With a switcher you can only output to one display at a time (a,b,c or d).   With this you can output to several tv's at the same time.   I imagine this type of device will eventually replace units such as RF modulators for people trying to feed several TV's from one source.   I will wait for future pricing and just keep using my rf modulator for now.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JVirg1]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 11th 2008 12:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Gefen intros v1.3-compliant 1:10 HDMI Distribution Amplifier and 1:5 HDMI Splitter]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/11/gefen-intros-v1-3-compliant-1-10-hdmi-distribution-amplifier-and/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/11/gefen-intros-v1-3-compliant-1-10-hdmi-distribution-amplifier-and/</guid><description><![CDATA[Not only did you get the equipment type wrong, you got the market wrong too.  Gefen looks like a specialty company mostly serving a niche in commercial installations.  In commercial installations, they shouldn't be using cheap consumer devices if they can avoid it.  It looks to me that Gefen is a pretty solid commercial grade device, with a steel enclosure and rather than a cheap plastic shell, and their products have serial control too. <br><br>Plus, there's probably no consumer market for a 5:1 or 10:1 splitter, not only no competition, there's no chance for economies of scale of a consumer market either.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JeffDM]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 12th 2008 1:36AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Gefen intros v1.3-compliant 1:10 HDMI Distribution Amplifier and 1:5 HDMI Splitter]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/11/gefen-intros-v1-3-compliant-1-10-hdmi-distribution-amplifier-and/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/11/gefen-intros-v1-3-compliant-1-10-hdmi-distribution-amplifier-and/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ooooh hellz yeah!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeremy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 12th 2008 10:35AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
