What's The Best HDMI Splitter That Works with Sky Steam

I have a Hitachi TV(Made by Argos) L42VK04U that's 14 years old and that only has 2 HDMI ports on it, I have a HDMI Splitter but it does not work with Sky Stream or Sky Q so what the best one to get, maybe you use one that works, it works with the Freeview box and my PC(Gefore GTX 1060 HDMI) and even mini consoles but not Sky, weird its always had the problem with it....?

 

My HDMI Splitter is a BANDRIDGE SVB101520250125_154740.jpg20250125_154844.jpg

I am Neurodivergent... 🙂

I am not a Sky Engineer but at one time wanted to be one or a BT Engineer... 🙂

I like working things out like its a puzzle... 🙂

I was a PC Engineer and fix peoples PCs by going to there house, Windows XP was known to slow down PCs over time and clog up the PCs RAM and its start-up and had to reinstall it for the customer, the only way you could fix WinXP.

@spannernick1  You need to be using a HDMI Switch not a splitter which is compatible with stream & other 4K HDR devioes.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

Typically a Sky box requires such devices to support HDCP because that's the encryption used by subscription television content.

Thanks... 🙂 I called it a spliter by accedent, its a HDMI switch because it switches the HDMI by itself.

Would this one work?... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/167069394678
I do not want to buy one and then it does not work.

@Anonymous  It looks like a pretty good piece of Kit but although the thread title says Splitter the original poster corrected themselves  in post 4 saying that this was an error as they meant a switch 😀
