My current HDMI splitter is passive (no power supply required) and takes 3 inputs. It's started playing up, so I'm looking for a new one. I need:

At least 3 inputs.
One output socket (not an output lead)
Takes power from HDMI (no spare sockets to plug anything else in)
Auto switching rather than using a remote contol

I can find plenty that fulfil most of the criteria, but not one that does it all (as my current on does, when it's working).

Any suggestions?

Cheers.

This one's reviewed relatively well and a decent price too.

Does it need to be a 4k splitter boo? They tend to be quite a bit more expensive than 1080p ones.

Nope. The TV is about 12 years old. Just feeding a DVR, an Xbox One and an Apple TV box in. 1080p will be fine.

No mains power is more important than auto switching. I'll find something. I'm using a Neet at the moment, but the input switch button has stopped working, so if the signal detection goes on the fritz I have to start yanking cables out.

Nothing fancy but it does the job.

I have bought an HDMI splitter from Online Discount codes the output is amazing basically it uses Auto-switching rather than using a remote control and takes power from HDMI itself.

That's the most eloquent and relevant spam I've ever seen.

Impressive spambot. Let your robot overlords know that I welcome them wholeheartedly, and am ready to facilitate their takeover in exchange for complete amnesty
