Can I run an HDMI signal through more than one HDMI switch?
I have 3 devices (cable tv, xbox, blu-ray player) to send to my TV.
I want to run them through my receiver (Onkyo SR605) but it only has 2 HDMI inputs.

My solution is run all 3 into a Belkin 3 port HDMI switch, then run a single hdmi out of the switch into my audio reciever and then run a hdmi cable out of the audio reciever inot my TV.

My question is, will running the cable through both the switch box and receiver degrade my HDMI signal? Or, is it ok to run the cables through both?

Any suggestions? Thanks.

How long are the cable runs? Chances are you won't have any trouble, but if the runs are sufficiently long, it's certainly possible for the combination of length and jack/plug transitions and what-not to cause problems.
