Strand USB 4 Port Hub with Mains Adaptor

Really good buy!, 2008-10-03
I was quite impressed about this product, once you get over the P&P charge. It's really good! There is a red light indicating when the product is on, and four green lights which light up and indicate the ports that are in use. There is about half a cm gap between each port, which isn't much, but it's good if your memory stick is slim. Cables aren't really an issue, it's plenty of space for several usb cables.

Beware that the mains plug is a massive bulky box, which was a bit of trouble inserting into to an extension cable full of plugs, but no worries otherwise.

I read in another review that it didnt shut down with the computer, mine was fine with this problem. I'm running windows XP on a Dell and it's perfectly fine.

May i add that the cable is pretty long in length, I had no issues with it reaching from the tower on the floor to my desk - and the cable is USB A to USB B, for those who wish to buy a different cable.

A great, compact and useful piece of kit. Recommend to anyone!

Excellent product, worth every penny!, 2008-09-30
Ordered this from Strand via Amazon, received within 2 working days, adequately packaged. Bought it for the bedroom TV in a very poor reception area. Within minutes it was up-and-running with more Freeview channels than on the main TV downstairs which is connected to the loft aerial. Still no ITV channels on Freeview (apart from CITV) but as we can't get them on the other TV I wasn't surprised. Note: this product comes with no instructions, but setting it up seemed fairly self-explanatory.

Overall, an excellent product which does exactly what it says on the box, and even in a very poor reception area gives a good selection of channels. For the price, it's a great indoor TV aerial and with the addition of Freeview reception, well worth trying for the money. Just need ITV to get their act together now and boost the signal!

A great little problem-solver, 2006-06-11
If you have a scart problem, this gadget is probably capable of solving it.

Of course there are other pieces of equipment about that allow you to connect multiple items (e.g. DVD, Video, Sky) to one scart input (e.g. your TV), but most of them will only allow for one of the three input devices to be turned on at a time, otherwise conflicts evolve.

With this product, however, that particular issue is not a problem. You can have all 3 input devices turned on and there will be no conflicts, as the A-B-C switch effectively blocks the signal of the two inputs which aren't selected on the box, regardless of whether those pieces of equipment are turned on or off. Thus you can seemlessly jump from one input to another without needing to turn devices on and off and without loss in picture quality.

However, you are not limited to selecting input A only, input B only, or input C only. Combinations are possible - A&B, B&C, A&C, or A&B&C, so the product can also function like any other scart adapter, in which you jump between inputs by turning one device of and the next off. The flexibility is yours.

Finally, you can change one of the inputs to become an output - ideal for recordings in which you want to preview the results 'live'.

I would thoroughly recommend this nifty little piece of kit. It gives you numerous solutions to various scart problems, whilst retaining the best possible picutre quality. And for all that, it's priced very reasonably indeed. Great product, great value.

The GOLD Scart Lead, 2007-01-22
I bought two of these. One from Amazon and one from a 1p seller. They were packaged differently, however item was exactly the same. I presume different companies are buying from same manufacturer. 1p sounds good to me.
