    Default HDMI connections to TV?

    Ok tech geeks,

    My boys’ TV has 2 HDMI inputs but I need to hook up 5 devices via HDMI.

    What splitter from amazon do I need?

    Take it away...

    I'm trying to think what my boss (out for the day) used - I want to say that the Google Home thing would run it, as well as the Logitech fancy universal remote.

    They had a bigger one. But the younger one decided to shoot an arrow into the screen.

    I really don’t want to add more hardware. Hoping for some simple plug and play splitter

    Still trying to figure out why, in the middle of watching something on Spectrum cable, some weirdness changes my HDMI input on the TV over to the Amazon Fire TV. On it's own. Usually at the dramatic point of some show.

    This is without touching ANY buttons on the Amazon remote? I ask, because my TV switches inputs accordingly if I press ANY button on the remote of any streaming device connected to it.

    Boys need to have a little recklessness in them.

    My uncle shot the tv with a BB gun in the late fifties or early sixties. Was watching a western. He tried to help out. Turns out he didn't kill the bad guy, just cracked the screen.

    Default HDMI connections to TV?

    You need a splitter that goes from 2 to 5. Bam! Fixed.
