One HDMI port on TV .....help please
I have an older TV which only has one HDMI port but have a fire stick and sky TV which both connect via an HDMI port. Does anybody know if there is anything I can buy so I can connect both devices through the one HDMI and would that work?

You can buy HDMI switches.
I've got one of these and it works wonderfully https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kinivo-501B...ds=kinivo+hdmi There are manual ones available and some cheaper remote control ones. The Amazon Fire TV stick doesn't like being always on and behind a switch much - it turns itself off after a while so you might have to wait a minute to use it when you change the input. |

You need an HDMI switch, they are easily available on-line, or in any TV shop.
Here's one example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Duronic-HDS...ds=hdmi+switch |

Just bear in mind that not all HDMI devices are good with handshaking when used on a switch. Sometimes you may need to turn things on and off to get them to work together.
