Hdmi Problems

[telboy1938]

Really need your help guys. I foolishly purchased a Panasonic TV without checking available connections. I now find it only has 2 x HDMI ports and no scart port. One of the ports allow me to connect sky+ box ok but the second one doesn’t ( I assume this is an outward port) I need to connect the Amazon Fire Stick and my DVD player but using a HDMI splitter does not work. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Tel

In using a splitter to connect your firestick and DVD player to a single HDMI input, you are probably using the splitter the wrong way around. Such a cable is designed to display an HMDI output on two screens.

To switch between sources (to one display) you need something like this:-

Cheaper versions are available without the remote function.

Note that the unit needs a 5Vdc supply, which is not included in the price.

Suck it and see ?
