Sky HD box USB port.
I understand that the USB port on the sky HD box is not functional ATM, but will it still power my HDMI switch box which has a USB port?

Re: Sky HD box USB port.
Well, based on using my Sky HD box's USB port to power a Joytech HDMI switch, it *will* power it, but *only* when the box is turned on & not in standby.
STB in standby... no power to the switch. I gave up, & swapped to using the power adapter that came with the switch box. |

Perhaps as my Sky box is brand new, it may be different to yours, but I can assure you that my switch works with Sky in stanby. |

Hmm, bit odd. The only time my box provides power over USB when in standby is if the box is recording something. Otherwise, it has to be fully turned on for the USB port to provide power. Straying from the actual topic a bit, what make HDMI switch box do you have? Is it the Joytech Tri-Link one? Ever had any problems with it? |
Re: Sky HD box USB port.
Hi,
I have the Joytech HDMI TRILINK switcher. The box has .....For Playstation 3..... on it. I have not had any problem with the switcher at all, but if memory serves me, once, I had to turn the sky box on and off a couple of times for the switch to work. But it was only on one occasion, so perhaps the Sky box is the trouble for some. The Sky HD box does have a reputation for problems. |
