Well this particular switch came over on the mayflower.... I got it when hdmi first became a thing enough to warrant one, so while I do have other ports I can use it in, none of the devices on those ports are going to work properly because it throws some garbage on the screen with any hdmi channels or streams using encryption. I can't use it with my xbox one because of Netflix and I can't use it on my cable box because of hbo. One option would be to plug the Nintendo Switch into my xbox one, but then I'd have to turn on my xbox one to play my switch, which is silly. Supposedly recent patches have made it into a passive hdmi passthrough, but I'll believe it when I see it.
