Did you have two display devices hooked up at the same time? How long were the HDMI cables? I have that passive splitter. I wanted to use it after my AVR, sending the signal to both my TV and my projector. The cable to my projector is 50 feet long. If I left the splitter out the connection to my projector worked every time. With the splitter in place I would have to cycle my equipment off and on or unplug one of my displays. I switched to the Monoprice 4x2 matrix HDMI switch and it works every time for me.
