Question 1

Can this be used as a splitter?

Accepted Answer

The short answer is No.
Splitters are different from switches. A switch will allow you to swap between multiple outputs on a single monitor (i.e. blueray + xbox + cable box > switch > single HDMI input on a tv).

Splitters are just that, they will send a single HDMI signal to multiple HDMI cables. (I.e. cable box > splitter > tv + tv + tv)

Question 2

Does this work with PS3? I have seen a number of reviews with statements about PS3 not working. I assume others have had success, but didn't bother to mention it?

Accepted Answer

I have a PS3, Apple TV, and a PC connected to this all at the same time. Works fine. If you're watching a show and switch on the PS3 it will auto-switch to the PS3, which can be welcome or annoying, depending on if you meant to do that.

Question 3

Can this be used as a 1 in 3 out(reverse)?

Accepted Answer

No, only can be used as designed. 1 out and 3 in

Question 4

I didn't get an IR remote.  I just use the button to push.  The mfg website doesn't say anything about IR functionality.
