Anyone successfully use a higher end HDMI/DVI switch with their S3? By higher end I mean a switch by Zektor, Gefen, Key Digital, Dtrovision, etc. It seems that the Monoprice style of switch works fine. From what I hear the Monoprice type switch uses a TI chip that doesn't decode the HDCP signal but just passes it on. The more expensive ones decode the signal so they can fine tune for long cable lengths. Plus some have built in digital audio switching - a big plus for me.
I currently have a Zektor HDVI5 switch (with digital audio switching) that works with my HDCP compliant RPTV and 6412 Comcast cable box and also an HTPC but doesn't work with my S3. After about an hour on the phone with Zektor (Hi Zonn) trying different things and they concluded it probably will never work.
So... I was wondering if anyone has seen anything similar with an HDMI/DVI switch, or if they have a switch that does work with the S3, especially one with digital audio switching.
