It works perfectly, BUT, here's a way to avoid the hour it took me to make it finally work: my goal was to connect my old tv a Panasonic TH-42PA20 with a sony streaming blu-ray BDP S390, hence my wanting this HDMI to Component converter. Upon initial connection, this converter did not work - lots of lines on the screen. This indicated to me that the digital signal wasn't being converted properly.
<<Insert an hour of troubleshooting here>>
So, two important things solved the issue:
1) I thought to look up what the resolution of my TH-42PA20 is - found that it is 480P (had no idea it was so low, actually, since my Roku box and DVD player had looked HD to me!).
2) I thought to connect my BPD S390 to another HDMI monitor in the house and see if I could change the resolution of the output of the player. I found that, among the setting I could change it to was 480p (other options were 1080, 720; the default on the unit was 1080 and, even on Auto, it did not find the tv's resolution automatically).
After I changed the output setting on the blu-ray player to match the tv's resolution, it all worked perfectly. Mind you, nothing in the directions of the converter said anything about this process, which is why I thought it important to put these steps in a review. It would be great if they included this in the instructions!
Streaming is good enough over WiFi; flawless with an Ethernet cable. Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Crackle all work great, even if a little clunky at times! Hope this helps someone else not spend as much time as I did figuring this all out!
