I have a 42" Philips LCD, only has 1 HDMI port in the back.

And today I found a deal on a Blu-ray I just couldn't pass up.

So, now my problem is that I don't feel like switching out the HDMI in my Directv HDDVR for my Blu-ray whenever I wanna watch a movie.

What exactly do I need? An HDMI splitter? Switcher? Neither?

Thanks in advance.

If you don't mind a manual switch you could try one of these.
