Hdmi output

spd1954 — Tue, 06 Sep 2022 10:27:31 GMT

Hi just switched to bt from virgin. I'd like to connect my bt tv box pro to my TV and to my old dvd recorder by splitting the hdmi output. Has anyone been able to split their hdmi output between 2 devices.

Thanks

Check Amazon & reviews for HDMI splitters. But you won't be able to record anything to DVD due to content protection. Also unless you bought the Pro Box BT are likely to want it back, as they were only ever on loan.

Thanks, I'm not leaving BT as only just come to them last couple of weeks. I've got a couple of splitter boxes but don't seem to be doing anything. Will give them another try. Never had a problem with my virgin box

Apologies, misread your post as moving to Virgin!

Some other posts have suggested that the HDMI output of the Pro Box can do some odd things, maybe playing nicely with a splitter is one of them...

This one works with our pro box. The 4k output to the TV, the 1080p output to a 1080p to SCART converter. SCART to a Triax Tri link box that distributes the analogue output over our SKY magic eye co ax system.

Hi, did you have any luck finding a splitter that works, I have just moved from virgin like you. I have a broken hdmi port on tv so I have been using a splitter with the working one but it does not work with my new bt box.
Thanks.

Unfortunately not as yet. Taken a break for now but will give it another go at some point.

The 4K splitter described in my post 6-09-2022 works with the pro box.
It’s available from a well known online retailer if you search for it.

Thanks, I’ll try that out. Not bad for £29.99.

No good for me, it works with box but I needed a splitter that allows me to have 3 devices attached to splitter so I can swap between them when needed.

thanks anyways.

You don't need a splitter. You need a switch.

Ahh, ok, you know one that works with a pro box? The one I have doesn’t and when I Google it splitters come up.

This is 3 in 1 out. Works for me. Take care with hdmi cec where hdmi switches can override the switch. Also I don't have a sound bar. These seem to be tricky with switches.

Does the 3 in 1 out aslo work as a 1 in to 3 out switch?

Re: Hdmi output

It’s for 3 devices in to 1 tv, I have a switch, fire stick and my bt pro box connected so I do not have to keep swapping hdmi leads in back on tv.
Hope that helps.

Well tried splitters and switches last one being ezcoo at £29.99 but all to no success, never got bt box pro to connect to my old dvd recorder/player so have to admit defeat.
