HDMI Switch
I have a TV with 2 hdmi ports but I have 3 devices, You View Box, Sky HD Box and Roku Box.
After a bit of Googling, I think I need a Hdmi switch? Could someone point me in the direction of what I need as I've been told that this one will not meet my needs. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUTO-IR-Re...item45fc2e1e3c Thanks |

The one you've linked to 'may' work as it is (if you plug your Sky box directly into one of the HDMI ports on the TV, and the switch into second port of the TV).
There is a socket on that switch-box to take a 5v power adaptor if there isn't enough power from your devices to run it properly. |

Thanks both of you. To be honest I just picked that one as I have no idea what I'm looking for at all.
Thanks again

In all honesty the two switches cited are most likely identical inside.
There is a standard Chinese HDMI switching chipset (I believe originated from M-Star) used by countless small manufacturers in Shenzhen, it's HDCP compliant and very cheap (I think they start at around £3 for one without a remote, but it's the same unit inside). |

Did whoever you spoke to tell you why it won't meet your needs?
