    Hope it's ok-not a bad price, if I say so myself.

    Looks like it has a metal case, now you just need the correct rating of power supply for it

    Shouldn't be too difficult I reckon.

    No power supply needed Mark, if I am reading the blurb correctly.

    You can look for a THOR HDMI selector which was designed by me several years ago and has still not been improved upon at a cheaper price since then.
    There is a used one on eBay .

    I have just installed the Vivanco box. Very neat and yes, it is metal Mark. Stuck it behind my centre speaker so there is only an IR sensor visible. Comes with a small remote control. As far as I can tell (as it's still light) the picture hasn't reduced in quality so a good buy.

    Nice one Jerry, I guess it could easily run off of the bus from the HDMI socket itself as it's only switching, that takes very little power & as long as it's well screened, which it appears to be then I wouldn't expect any picture degradation.

    My beasty does consume power though as it sends out two signals at once & boosts them while it's at it.


    I tried something similar, but cheaper & in a plastic case & I was seriously upset at the mess it made of the picture


    Glad it's worked out for you!
