If you've got an older flatscreen TV with only one HDMI input, but want to add a second source component via HDMI, then the Ixos Studio XHE220 HDMI switcher could be what you're after.
This handy little device, costing £50, connects two HDMI sources to a single input and can support HDMI 1.3a and 1080p video.
Video switching between sources is automatic and the unit is HDCP compliant. It supports 720p, 1080i and 1080p high-definition video transfer.
Ixos says the XHE228 is based on its commercial HDMI switchers and offers the same professional grade performance in a more affordable, compact package.

Hi
This looks interesting.
I have a Yamaha Home Cinema Amp with 2 HDMI inputs.
One is fed the Signal from my SKY HD box, the other my Playstation 3.
Will this gizmo enable me to feed a signal from a DVD recorder if I connect it between the input for the Playstation?
(I plan to hook up the DVD recorder via a Scart socket unless there is a better way (another of these switches between the SKY box and the Yamaha?
