2 way automatic HDMI selector

madasaflake · 13-02-2009, 14:32

I need a two way selector for my TV so I can connect the Sky+HD box and my DVD recorder (TV only has one socket). Do I really need to spend £50 or £60 quid on one? Can anyone recommend one a little cheaper. Have seen a couple on AMazon (don't know how to provide a link) which are between £20 and 30 pounds.
Thanks

I use the Thor 2 into one .

I paid £30 althought it was supposed to be higher- dont know what it is now.

The only problem is that Sky HD takes over the lead and will not allow you to view the dvd player even after the HD box is in standby- you need to manually press the switch on the lead.

Other devices like PS3 ,HD DVD player did not have this problem.

You dont have to spend £60 but a the dearer option might work better
