Hi folks,

I know you can get cables anywhere these days, but the prices seem to vary drastically. Where do you get your hdmi cables? Just need two 2-3 meter ones. Also, is it advisable to use a 3 way hdmi splitter? I've run out of sockets on my tv and need something. If a splitter is ok, then where should I get one? Similar to the cables, there are so many around at various prices.

Any help would be cool,

Thanks!

very good place for things like that, if you need more inputs on your TV then it isnt a splitter you need you will need a HDMI switchbox for that.

cheers folks, I'll take a look at the links!

edited to add, looking at the hdmi switches, do you need an power supply for them? They all seem to have power inputs but are not supplied with power leads?

To quote your own link:

"Power cable not required, however depending on the strength of signal and length of cable, you may need to use the power cable (supplied). Providing your HDMI cables are 15 metres or less in length, the power cable should not be required."
