You don't want a splitter, you need an HDMI switch, or combiner. e.g.

I bought this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271417971323?_trksid=p20...

I wasn't expecting it to be any good, but have been pleasantly surprised.

It doesn't auto switch but with the remote that's no problem.

I also have one of those HDMI switchers linked above (the Neet switch on Amazon), never had a problem with it.
