Any way to connect two HD DVRS to one HDMI plug in?

Question

I have a cable HD-DVR & a sattelite HD-DVR, one for sports and one for local channels. However, the HDTV I have has only one HDMI connection, so I have connected one DVR using the HDMI and one using regular cable connectors. Problem is that only the HDMI connected DVR has a HD quality picture so I may be paying for something I can't use.

Answer 1

Yes all you need is a HDMI splitter you can find them at many online retail shops:

Answer 2

You can buy an HDMI Switcher. It is basically a box with several HDMI inputs and one HDMI output (to go to your TV).

CNET recently did a nice roundup of several HDMI Switchers, so you can see which you prefer:

Answer 3

Don't get hung up on HDMI that much.

I am sure both your set-top boxes have component (R/g/B) output.  Use component from one box and I doubt you can see the difference. (Composite - yellow plug - can't transmit HD).
