Hello Tech Guyu's .
I am new around here and am having a complete nightmare with my new home entertainment system and hope I can get some help.
Basically I recently purchased a 50" Panasonic Viera TV and I realised it only had 2 HDMI ports (one named ARC for my theatre system and the other a standard hdmi port)
The equiptment I wish to be connected to my TV is as followed:
Sky HD
Home theatre
Blu Ray player
Xbox 360
I have the home theatre connected to my TV's ARC hdmi port and a hdmi splitter connected to the other port.
In the splitter I have my Sky HD, Blu Ray player and my Xbox 360.
The problem I am encountering is that as soon as I turn my TV on for example to watch Sky HD my Blu ray player overrides everything, therefore I have to wait for my Blu ray player to load up and then I have to shut it down in order to use my Sky HD or anything else that I wish to use.
I have a remote control with the splitter but most of the time it freezes and I then have to power down everything and start again.
It doesn't sound a major problem but it is driving me insane as I am constantly pulling my TV stand out and messing with the hdmi leads to try and get it to work.
Is there an alternative other than unplugging and replugging the hdmi leads all the time or using splitters which apparently (according to the manager of Comet always get overwriden by Blu ray players)
I would really appreciate some help with this, please bear with me as I'm not totally savy with this kind of thing.
Many thanks.
