Hi, I only have one HDMI port on my TV and have a sky Q box and apple tv inputs needed. I had an old sky hd box where i had a splitter (2 in one out - press a button and the input displays changes) - i bought this of amazon a few years ago and served me well. Enter the new Sky Q box and this splitter no longer works, stays on the apple tv when the sky q box is plugged in.
Does anyone know of a tried and tested solution/device that would solve the issue here please?

You need a HDMI switch rather than a splitter (which is for if you want the Sky box to go to both a TV and Projector). Ideally pitch up one that supports HDMI 2.1 for future proofing but not essential based on your tv.0

As Sandtree states, a switch would be best. Personally I wouldn't worry about HDMI 2.1 at the moment, you won't need it for your setup, unless you are going to buy a new PS5 or X-box. If you bought a TV that supports HDMI 2.1 it would have more than one port anyway. Mine has 4 and I'm only using one for 2.1 the rest has good old 2.0 plugged into them.
Anyway, have a look at this... Amazon 3 in 1 controller HDMIDrinking Rum before 10am makes you
