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 SVB1015

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.
