a lot of the older HD sets only have one HDMI socket, and with more and more equipment having HDMI outputs then HDMI switches are becoming more and more common.
on a job yesterday i was having a nightmare trying to get a picture on the screen, then noticed this SLX 3-1 remote controlled HDMI switch http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tvcables/SLX-3-way-HDMI-switch.html these are no good if you are planning on getting a humax HD freesat system, the humax remote commands conflict with the switch.
pressing the OK button on the freesat remote turns the switch to input 2
pressing 7 on the freesat remote turns the switch off
so if youre thinking of getting a HDMI switch to connect all your gear up, it might be worth either getting a manual switch, or one thats a different make to SLX
hope it helps somebody
