HDMI splitter that will work automatically?

Post date: 2018-07-19 12:24:08

I have an older (2006-ish?) tv with one HDMI port. I have three things (Roku, DVD player, and cable box) I would like to watch via the tv. I've been using an HDMI splitter that requires manual switching (I have to go click it to transfer between the cables), and it's in the process of active dying. I would love to replace it with something that (a) works and (b) does not require that I get up to click it when I switch from Hulu to cable. I'd love to avoid another remote control as well, but it's not a dealbreaker. Suggestions?

If it does require a remote, if you could also recommend a universal remote that would work for at least parts of the described set-up, I'd appreciate it. Right now I've got an Xfinity remote for tv/cable, a Roku remote, and a DVD remote. If having a manual splitter is really much better for REASONS, let me know that, too. (I've been having to get up for five years, so continuing to do so certainly won't degrade my quality of life.)

Assume that I'm on the high end of "general population comfortable with tech" but on the lower end of "tradition MeFi comfortable with tech."

Bonus points for anything I can order quickly from Amazon.
