Hdmi Spliter?

[Jester2893]

Alright, I have a HDMI compatible tv and a hd box and xbox 360. I have clutters of wires, behind my tv stand because I have 3 sets of component cables. A set going from my tv to component "switch" and then from there a set going to my 360 and to my cable box. I have one HDMI port and 2 things I want to make hdmi. I know there are splitters but I am confused on how these work. I need to be able to switch between the two HDMI points, so I can watch tv or play xbox. Any suggestions? I need to get 2 HDMI cables and some kind of splitter, for cheap via ebay or somewhere online. Any help would be great.

Yea I think thats what I need. I got my component switcher from them but they didn't have any HDMI. I want something that lets me plug two things into one hdmi port. The ones I have been seeing are the opposite. Lets you use one impute for two monitors or w/e.

That actually never came to mine.  I will try and go this weekend, I just don't want to pay a lot of money.

Thanks man, I think thats the one I get, because I can't seem to find anything cheaper.


Are they a reliable site?

Also does it matter which HDMI cables I get?

What makes a good HDMI Switch and HDMI cables? I was looking at this switch:http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=101&cp_id=10110&cs_id=1011001&p_id=2786&1&format=2

Is it any good? Should I get something else?

Also I need some HDMI cables, how do I know whats good?

Jester, I haven't had much luck with my splitter, but I would suggest creating outlet wholes in the wall behind the tv and behind the entertainment stand.  that way the wires are outta sight.  I ran all my wires through the wall for my plasma, and it looks sexy with no wires dangling  :grin_nod:

that has potential for a good post change but its just too late.

Yea Thats me and my dad were going to do, but we would have to run, an HDMI cable, VGA cable, power cable and a coaxial cable. Its still going to be a possibility, but thats something I need to decide after everything is in place. I just mainly have to figure out my HDMI switch situation. I don't need something with a remote, because its just another remote I have to keep track of. I don't want to spend 100$ or even 40$ on a splitter, because I don't think its worth it.
