HDMI Splitter

[Mike g]

Ok I know this is not an audio topic/query, but someone here might be able to help. Thinking about apple tv however if I get another box for the tv I won't have a spare hdmi slot on the tele. I would therefore be looking for an hdmi splitter. What would people recommend? Preferably cheap as poss however I want to ensure that as little picture quality
as poss will be lost. Probably going to use it on the apple tv and Blu Ray player to start with.

Thanks

Mike

Yeah that's the sort of thing. Have you tried it? I have an hdmi cable from this company and it works well so would hope this switch would be good too.

I boudht a 3 input version of this:

It works very well.
Not long afterwards Aldi had what looked like exactly the same thing for around £8.
If you're not in a hurry, keep and eye on Aldi; otherwise, there are loads of options on e-bay. They either work or not, so if you're buying new, you can get your money back.

HDCP is the enemy here, cheap splitters may not be compatible and hence you get no picture.
