Ran out of HDMI ports on my tv. Need help.

Use a receiver with multiple hdmi inputs that outputs one hdmi out to the tv

What are my options?

Either use a receiver as a front end as others suggested or get an inexpensive HDMI switch. I've used one of these for years on my kitchen TV and it works great. You can also get a five-port model. These are automatic switches that search from the top for the first HDMI cable that is powered on. If you have something like a Roku or Tivo that stays powered on all the time, put it in the last position.

It's for a bedoom tv and already have a sound bar. So this might be my only option. I appreciate the response

This or switch your cable box (or whatever) to component inputs . picture quality should be very similar

I ran out of them on my receiver and I ended up trying a HDMI switch and the quality was awful.

I even bypassed the receiver to see if that was causing the issue and it was bad at best.

If it is a Sony TV you can use ARC to add the number of ports on the tuner to the number of ports on the TV.

For example, my Sony TV has 4 ports, the Sony tuner has 4 ports=8 ports total.

I think Pioneer has something similar on their tuners.
