HDMI Splitter

[Deeg]

Can anyone recomend a HDMI splitter?

It's only for in the bed room, so I don't want to spend huge amounts on it, but want to be able to run a PC and a DVD on HDMI if possible.

Will there be a huge loss in quality on the £5 type splitter, or will it be hard to notice unless you're looking for it?

Cheers

so do you want a splitter or a joiner e.g 1 in 3 out or 3 in 1 out?

 

[Deeg]

2 leads into 1 port on the TV.

Not sure if that makes it a splitter or joiner?

splitter, just make sure you get an auto switching one and not hte cheapest crap you can find as they have problems with hdcp. Ebay has shitloads, even tesco sells them

that would be a switcher (not joiner like i said)

i bought one of these a while ago and seems to do well auto switching to the right item

There is one for £25 at Maplins which has auto switch and manual switch.

If it is worth getting a slightly more expensive one, then I'll do that and not bother with one of the £10 ones and then have to buy a better one anyway.

is this the one your on about deeg?

if so it should work no probs

 

[Deeg]

There's that one, and then there's another one, they both look the same, except one is powered and has a remote to manually switch it.

I'm presuming the boxes like those deliver much better performance than the basic splitters like these:

that pic looks like it is 1 in and 2 out and not really work for what you need

i've got an auto one with a remote incase the auto thing didn't work with some thing
