I have an HDTV with only (1) one HDMI input that my DVR is hooked up to and would like to hook up an upconvert DVD Player/Recorder with HDMI output. Do I use an HDMI Splitter or a Switch? Could someone recommend a manufacturer for either one and where can I purchase it from?

Thanks in advance,

Had the same problem with my 51" Hitachi... after quite a bit of research, this is what i bought.... OUTSTANDING auto-switching HDMI switchbox:

IOgear HDMI switch. Trust me, it will do everything you need it to....havent even had a need for the remote control yet.

You can get one at a fraction of that price at monoprice: http://www.monoprice.com/products/su...01&cp_id=10110
Or: http://www.hdtvsupply.com/hdmi-13-switch.html
get at least a 3x1 so you can grow into it. Many like Geffen are way over priced like Monster cables. Just a waste of money, you will never tell the difference. Mine is auto sensing, I don't even have to use the remote. When I turn on the dvd player it senses it and switches automatically. When I turn of the player, it goes back to the cable box.

As ricoman stated try monoprice,
I have this one,

works great, but yeah get the 3x1.....

IMHO if you think that the stuff at monoprice is whats best then go with that.... but the majority of these "discounted" HDMI switchboxes are either push-button (why WOULDNT you want an auto switch?!) and only have 2-3 ports available, (just going to have to buy another down the road)
Seems like the recommended HDMI switchboxes are either just as expensive as the one i reommended, or are very discounted because they're cutting costs with no remote, no auto-switching, etc.

I've tested about 5 different brands of these switches, and i can tell you that they are NOT all created equal....I'm not talking about signal preservation, but the actual craftmanship of some of these boxes are NOT what you would expect when you get them in your hands.
It's up to you, though im willing to bet anyone who recommends against the IOGEAR switch hasnt ever tested one of them out....they are outstanding.

FYI,monoprice have them as well, and no one said anything about best.....

And my manual one works "outstanding" for me...
to each his/her own....

I already have a 3x1 that I talked about. I've had it for 2-3 yrs. now and it works great and cost me less than $100. Autoscan, remote and cables were included too. There are others too, just read the customer reviews. I will be buying a Monoprice 4x2 soon for $90 soon because I want to hook up my bedroom HDTV too. You can spend as much as you want to but there is quality equipment that is a lot less expensive if you look for it. You don't have to spend $250-$300 on it, hell it's only a switch box, it's not that complicated, you can buy a 5.1 surround sound receiver for that price.
