I have 2 ports and need to hook up Blu-ray, xbox 1, xbox 360 and direct tv. How can I accomplish this without swapping cables every time?

HDMI switch. I bought one off of Amazon for this exact reason and it works really well

Exactly. Only thing is you still need to be able to access the switch to cycle between inputs. Usually not an issue.

Use a HDMI splitter instead of a switch then there is no need to manually switch anything.

This one splits 1 into 2, but I think there are 1 to 4 available.

Why both? Xbox 1 is backwards compatible with the 360....

Blu-ray


Isn't the Xbox 1 a Blu-ray player?

Missed this. You can connect this through the Xbox one instead

I ended up getting one of these but not this one you bought because these fools can't even spell support 4K right.
