Call me a Numpty.

Just had Sky Hd installed and just realised that I have one hdmi socket in the tv, which will be upgraded early next year.
My son and I really like playing cod in the living room when the wife out but with the hd hogging the port is there any easy and cheap soloution to enable me to have the ps3 and the Sky hd going into the one tv socket and if not will it the sky hd still record if the cable is out ?
Sorry i this sounds weird but really just getting into this home entertainment thing.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Numpty (couldn't resist).

Simply add an HDMI switch. See hdcable.co.uk for a cheap 2 in, 1 out model. The Sky+HD will be unaffected.
