I have a Sony TV with only 1 HDMi socket & I need to connect 1 Sky+ HD Box and 1 Blu Ray Player to the TV via HDMi cables. I am using an HDMi splitter to connect the 2 appliances to the TV. The problem is I am getting a very bad signal to the TV even when using only 1 appliance at a time. When checking the splitters advertised on Amazon.co.uk they state that they are for connecting 1 input to 2 outputs. Am I to assume that they only work 1 way & NOT the way I wish them to work ( 2 in & 1 out ?)
. . . which is exactly what you're doing anyway! i.e. you're connecting one input (that of your TV) to two outputs (those of your Sky box and BluRay player).
A while ago Aldi were knocking these out, bound to be doing them again soon. I have a Freesat+HD box, Saorview box and blu-ray player all feeding into the only HDMI port on my TV with one of these and it works a treat.
Hi guys I am seeking your help again on this issue. I have now purchased an HDMi Switch which is clearly marked Output X1, In X 3, & I still cannot get it to operate from the Sky Box. Can anyone suggest where I am going wrong ? This is the one that I am using.
