HDMI spliter

MrsE_2

We need a HDMI splitter.

DH has got skyHD in the bedroom now & his PS3, but the TV only has one HDMI socket.

Something like this maybe

http://www.amazon.co.uk/ClimaxDigital-1080P-Input-Output-Splitter/dp/B001CYJQYO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1261068165&sr=8-1

Do we need to spend £30 (he wants a good one:rolleyes::mad::rolleyes::mad:).

Any advice?
Thank you.

Quite cheap when compared to the HDMI cables that you also need.

I have HDMI cables.
Its just a splitter I need.
No problem spending £30 if we need to, just don't know what we should be spending & wanted some advice.

But thats only if you believe all the hype about these fantastic HDMI cables. I was reading something the other day which detailed an independent test on 1m HDMI cabled and they proved that there was no noticeable difference or quality loss (well non that the human eye is capable of seeing) so therefore something like this would be much more suitable as a cable;

Noooooooo, you realise you've probably started another tedious argument.

You get this sort of thing on eBay.

You need a switcher, not a splitter. Different things.

Sorry but I don't knoe the difference between them.

I found this.
But I think its manual & you have to select the one you want to work


And this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-Port-HDMI-1080p-hub-switcher-1-3-remote-control_W0QQitemZ120419429708QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ConsumerElectronics_VideoSwitches_SM?hash=item1c098ead4c
Which I think is the same thing but with a remote control?

Now I don't understand what this cheap one does http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HDMI-Y-Splitter-Cable-1-Male-to-2-Female-Gold-Connector_W0QQitemZ300382153369QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item45f02bea99
I thought they all did the same?

Aren't there any that you just plug in & you don't have to select, they just work by themselves, like a plug doubler?

Thank you
