        same as any other scart or hdmi selector box you will have 2 or four ports into the box for connecting your hdmi devices like ps3 hd freeview etc and one port out to the tv ,whatever device is switched on last goes through to tv or overide by push button or remote,
        I believe argos have a two and four way you could buy there and if no good return in a few days ,
        i did ask a customer who had tosh tv how he got on with his problem he had contacted tosh but they could not say why the combo would not connect to he did buy an hdmi box from argos and worked fine

                well three of my customers had the same problem with a tosh tv and bought a selector box and fixed it
                I never said buy a splitter these will make it worse rather than better hdmi selectors will be powered a splitter is just shit

                    Ive done some further reading on tinternet and it seems the switcher/selector method is the way forward, BUT finding the correct one is the trick!

                      as i said a 2 way switcher is not a powered hdmi selector box
                      and as I said asda have a 4 way powered box buy if dont work take it back easy as that
