Gefen DVI switch- Signal degradation ?

[timmcleod]

Have 2 DVI equipped output devices ( DVD player and Satellite receiver )
and HDTV display with 1 DVI input.
Gefen is only company I've found which makes 2 x 1 and 4 x 1 DVI switches.
Has anyone used these and if so has there been any signal degradation ?
Other solutions available ?
thanks.
tim.

DTronics also makes DVI switches... Seems like they changed their name to DTrovision. Mine works great...

If you have component video available use it for the DVD player and use DVI for your HD satellite. The amount of improvement going from component to DVI is probably not worth the cost of the switcher especially for the dvd player. (480P is 480P)

Gefden switch works great

I have the 2 x Gefden switch and use it for my DVD player and sat receiver. Not only is there no degredation of signal, but the switch is supposed to act as a booster. I have a 30' DVI cable to my projector and it produces a superior picture than component cable.

I have the Gefen 4 x 1 DVI remote-controlled switch. It has been bullet-proof.
