oh no just 1 hdmi

[admin_exported]

hi all i have a problem and really dont want it to become expensive. my grandparents have an old 32" samsung lcd and it only has 1 hdmi. this was fine as they only had freesat and there dvd was conected via component. however the dvd player broke! and without consulting myself they went out and got a nice new panny surround sound system which you actualy give great marks. unfurtunatly it has no component out on it and the scart rgb is really a big drop in pic quality to there old tosh set. an hdmi splitter seemed to be the way to go. but as the optical out from the freesat is connected to the opt in on the new panny this proves a prob if they wanna watch freesat with surround as it trys to send two signals to the tv. i found an hdmi to component lead with audio on ebay. buut this dosnt work either way round you put it so i can only think it is broken.

has anyone got any ideas that wont be to costly

dont you just hate it when people go out spending and say they know what there doing then call you up when they cant install it. when really to buy a different player would have been so simple.

any help would be great guys

I must admit I got a bit lost reading that, but if all you require is a hdmi splitter then ALDIs gets quite a lot of good feedback

I agree with aliEnRIK, you just need a HDMI splitter, the one at Aldi is very cheap too, it's £9.99, it has 3 HDMI inputs and 1 output to your tv. Have a look at the link below:

Also a bit lost and not convinced you need a splitter. Which Freesat box do you have and which Panasonic HCIAB? If the box can send audio over HDMI and the HCIAB as HDMI switching then this could be a little simpler.
