3 HDMI on TV

My Samsung 40" only has 2 HDMI ports, is there a way to use 3 somehow? by using some kind of adaptor or something, I have a 360 Elite and Home Cinema Running via HDMI and want to buy a PS3 in a few months which will also be HDMI

Re: 3 HDMI on TV

Buy a HDMI switch or upgrade to a nice shiny new AV receiver with HDMI (and get HD audio from your PS3) inputs. I use an Oppo HM31 (3 in, 1 out). Do a search on HDMI switch as the question comes up all the time. Some folks have had good results with cheaper boxes but be wary of some of the ones on ebay, particularly the ones that say they're the only one to pass ATC tests (or something like that) as most of the time, they don't work. Personally I would go for a brand named model. Buy once and all that...
