New HDMI splitter

[Johnny Canuck]

Has anyone ever tried one of these?

Does it degrade picture quality at all?

It's only $49.

Well if the signal is strong enough to get there.. i can only assume it'd be fine since it's digital.. it's either a 1 or a 0.. like your cell phone.. works or it doesn't.

I would be skeptical since it is passive. But if you buy it, let me know how it works!

Unfortunately, this isn't the case with HDMI/DVI. The picture actually degrades where you can see sparkles and lines - then eventually it goes away completely when the signal degrades too far.
