HDMI Inputs On TV ?
Hi,
Figure that someone here would know. My TV has only 2 HDMI inputs. I have a USB hub on my PC that allows 6 USB inputs to be ported to, and shared, by a single USB input on my home desktop PC. Is there anything similar for TV HDMI inputs ? Or, are there switch-boxes available as an alternate solution, where you manually can switch from one HDMI source to another one, and then feed the single TV HDMI Port ? Or,...? Thanks, Bob |

You can get these, but get a switch box that has its own power source, and doesn't try to derive power from the HDMI port on the TV. HDMI does have a power wire but the power available is really low - less than USB, if I remember right. It's not really enough to run much of any external hardware. I have used a totally electromechanical HDMI switch box on a Toshiba TV and couldn't get it to work right. HDMI also has a handshake that has to happen; sometimes the TV will sync back up after you operate the switch box and sometimes not. You may have to power-cycle the TV or the HDMI source device after using the switch box, to get a picture. Matt Roberds |
