There are lots of cheap DVD combi sets out there, but they all seem to have only one HDMI port. Does anyone sell a model with 2 or more ports?

    I think it's due to limited space in a small TV. Would a HDMI splitter box not be enough

    If there is no other option I'll have to go with the splitter box, just seeing if there are any other options....

    That is also something I might have to consider. But I wish they'd remove the SCART (who uses that these days?) and give us 2 HDMIs instead....

    Splitter would not work, OP would require a switch.

    There is an aversion for some reason to provide copious HDMI ports, sometimes you're doing well if you have three. And yet Blu-Ray/DVD, Sky boxes, computers, Fire Sticks, Rokus/Now TV, Raspberry Pi's all use HDMI... HDMI switches are the way to go until the TV needs replacing.

    As to SCART connections - copious video players still use them, external Freeview boxes, possibly older Sky boxes and no doubt some other stuff - just because you don't use it doesn't mean others are the same.

    I agree about older Sky boxes. But you wouldn't need a Freeview box with a new TV.

    I doubt many people still have video players , although I kept mine for ages to play my VHS tapes I finally gave up about 5 years ago.

    There are probably no end of other devices that use SCART, I just listed a few common ones. And I still have a video player as do my parents and siblings, except my parents TV doesn't have a SCART input and so their video uses the old RF tuner output which the TV takes as an analogue input.

    SCART connections will soon be a thing of the past- just because you still use "copious" old tech doesn't mean others are the same :p
