Hi guys due to the recent failure of my early Sky HD box which had both HDMI and component outputs I now need a 5 x 2 HDMI splitter. Does anyone one make a decent one that does not cost a fortune?

I have a two screen cinema room running a projector and an LCD TV. The sky box was supplying HDMI to the projector and component to the TV. But the new Sky HD box does not have a component output so I need to split the Sky HDMI output between the two screens. I currently have an Octava 4 x 1 splitter but I now need two outputs as I will now run an HDMI cable to the TV as well. Octava no longer seem to supply there 5 x 2 splitter, is there a decent alternative?

I have one of these, 4x2 so hopefully enough inputs? It runs 2x 10M Active HDMI leads to different screens and has a dvd and a virgin box attached. not tried it with anything else yet...

AVforums10 gives you a 10% discount too.

Their customer service is good too.

Edit: I think this would do the job for you if its only to split one signal to two sinks?

just realised you already have a 4x2, not sure if combining a 2x1 into a 4x2 is a step too far for the signal / clutter?
