HDMI - 1 in 2 out?

I need to hook up my dvd player to TV and PJ using HDMI. Is there a switcher that I can connect the dvd player to and select the output - either TV or PJ (that doesn't cost a fortune?)

Thanks

The potential problem with an HDMI 'Selector' switch is that you'd be having HDCP issues if you had the switch set incorrectly before you switched your kit on and you would have to be constantly resetting the kit.

Your much more likely to get a stable system using a 1:2 HDMI (or DVI with HDCP if its only for Video) Distribution amp - the Gefen EXT-HDMI-142 has a UK SRP of £246.75.

See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=2514

Best regards

Joe

Thanks Joe, I think I'll be swapping cables for a while until the price comes down a bit!
