HDMI 2-into-1 cable

[MetalDwarf]

I have an HDMI equipped projector, but it only has one hdmi input
i have 2 HDMI sources i would like to connect to it but my reciver is pre-HDMI.

my sources are a upscaling DVD player (soon to be blu-ray...maybe)
and a HTPC outputting via DVI-HDMI

i am wondering if there is a simple split "Y" cable i can use of if i have to go to a HDMI switch. i would reather avoid the switch for cost and complexity reasons. i dont intend to use both devices at the same time.

You need a switch.

Wow. $250. I would just manually switch the cable.

No need to spend anywhere near that:

You can find some fine HDMI switches, even with remote controls, for less than $40.00 these days.

With two source devices, rather than two displays from one source, you have to use a switch...
