1. Its HDMI, not USB - a USB splitter will be of no use to you.
2. You don't need a splitter - that's to send 1 HDMI signal to 2 different devices - you need a HDMI SWITCH which will automatically route either the DVD signal or the Sky box to the same HDMI port on your TV.
Does your TV really only have 1 HDMI input (must be either old or cheap), even the "no-name" supermarket tat usually has 2.
