Question: My tv has only one HDMI port. Will this HDMI splitter allow me to connect one HDMI cable to my cable box, and the other to my DVD Recorder?
Document: My TV is hanging over the fireplace and the HDMI cord is going through the wall (only 1 cord) so I was hoping that I could use this to connect my cable box and a blue ray player. I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong. I plugged the HDMI cord that's coming from the wall and is connected to my TV into the main cord (using a HDMI to HDMI connector) and then plugged the cable box and blue ray player in to the splitter.
I have a 28" 1080p tv that I use as a computer monitor, but it only has one HDMI port. This allows me to have a bluray player connected to the tv as well. My 6 year old can just turn on the tv and turn on the player and watch movies w/ friends in the basement, without having to mess with the input select. Never had to use the manual switch button, but I tested it and it does work.
Bought this for my dad  his soundbar had one HDMI input ant he wanted to hook up several item to it. The instructions are simple and it works as advertised. He has hooked up cable box ,blue ray player all on an older TV
Unfortunately I'm returning this item. I bought it so that I wouldn't have to manually switch the HDMI cable between my FireTV and my DVD player since my HDTV is an older one that only has two HDMI inputs, and I use one for the cable input. The automatic switching worked well, and would switch between the devices, but I get no audio from the FireTV.
This splitter is exactly what I needed. I wanted something simple that would not require us to &#34;operate&#34; it and this fits the bill perfectly. So far, the quality seems great. No problems with distortion and it now allows me to share one single HDMI cable that is routed through my fireplace to the mounting. Great product!
It also did not make a difference if it only had one HDMI cable plugged into the splitter or which output of the splitter was used. No lights came on, so I believe this splitter will only work if plugged into an HDMI output. It might require power to operate that is only available with a true HDMI output.I will see if I can send it back and if not, that is another issue. Hope this helps for those who might want to do the same thing.
my tv has only two hdmi inputs, now with this splitter I got the video games cable and the apple tv. Good product for a really good price
Works but does not work as I hoped, I have my Cable box in slot 1, PS3 in slot 2, and PS4 in slot 3 and I have to have my PS3 turned on at all times or i can't play the PS4 or watch TV. When the PS3 is turned off the others lights just sit and blink and there is no signal going to the TV from the splitter until I turn the PS3 is back on and then everything works.
It did work for me with this configuration:  I have my cable receiver on input 1, the xbox 360 on input 2, and the wii u on input 3. I have a plasma tv with 1 hdmi input so this switcher splitter works for me.
this splitter is a very poorly made one at that when i hooked it to my tv and connected my consoles the picture comes in very fuzzy and a bunch of black pixels r missing
Answer: Should work. My fathers tv had one a Hdmi and he hooked up a soundbar, a cable box and a DVD player
