I use one of the <$10 intelligent three way switches from Amazon. I see one that looks just like mine for under $6 today.

It's been perfect, and it's little blue light is hidden behind the set. I keep my Chromecast and laptop on it.
After sending the other back I got this one well actually this one which is the same just available for Prime Shipping.

I hooked up the Roku in Port 3 and DVD player in Port 1 and it works great! I don't even need the remote it switches automatically when I power the DVD on. Picture looks good too. I did have to buy an extra HDMI cable and since Amazon has made my favorite HDMI cables now a Add On item I got this one instead. I told hubby this is part of his Christmas present.

My delivery date has finally moved up as well! It was scheduled for 1/5--but now says preparing for shipment--estimated delivery date is tomorrow! I already have a Roku 3, so not sure what I'll use this for--but do anticipate it will be good for traveling.

Does it switch back to the roku when you power the dvd off?

Yeah, I was very surprised by how well the intelligent switching worked for me. I fully expected to need to program the remote control into my Harmony and switch manually, but so far it's behaved exactly as I've wanted. I've not figured out the exact behavior logic. I think it just reads my mind.

Hubby is happy with it. I haven't even remove the plastic on the remote so the batteries will stay fresh. It switches perfect and the price is pretty good. The under $5 ones are shipped from Hong Kong but The one I link to is fulfilled by Amazon.

Weird, I just posted a link to the Prime eligible one, and it took me to the Hong Kong one as well.
It must be the default buying option for a group of equivalent devices.
Just search for hdmi switch and click the Prime eligible box.

Thanks. Did a search with Prime and it brought me to a different distributor. Same price, reviews, etc. Refined the search with your distributor listed and it showed up. Ordered it. Should be here Friday.

Thanks. Will play around when I get it. Some reviews say you need an AC adapter with some devices. My devices will be 2 out of 3 - Fire Stick, Roku 2 and Sony DVD player.

No ac needed for my chromecast, fire TV stick or laptop. I have no idea what an ac adapter might be needed for.
