Hi Jon
Haven't tested the Cyp or Techlink ones I'm afraid, but we're hoping to look at a few more HDMI switchers in the next Ultimate Guide to Home Cinema, so will keep you posted.
You actually need an HDMI switcher, will allow several sources to be fed into a single socket (on the TV), and not a splitter, which allows one HDMI output to feed several display devices (eg a TV, a projector and so on). Several companies make such switches - we've always had good results with the remote-control one from QED. Not cheap, but works well.
