after a google search I have not found anything that you can do with the HDMI output unless there's a device that you can plug it into that will actually split the HDMI signal

Your HDMI cable may not send the information, use one with audio return and internet capabilities. If you have it hooked to a cable or satellite receiver they (nearly all Directv and some others) cannot send the required signal, it's not the splitter, rather it's the unit hooked to it. If your signal is coming from a DVD, Blue-ray etc it should work. Check to see if the receiver is showing PCM or something else as an input source signal. The receiver should be able to decode the signal from the source via HDMI as long as the signal is provided to it at the input. Just a side note, if you have a DVR or other device as a source run the splitter directly from this device to the splitter and then to other devices such as a second receiver or a TV. If you run it to the TV then to a receiver or other device you may run into a problem as many TV's do not send the required signal out (even if it says the TV does or does not address that issue). Good luck, I know the units should send the signal but, you can email J-Tech if you can't find the problem and they will help, or send you a replacement if it is defective. However, I have several friends who have purchased the J-Tech on my advice and ALL their minor problems dealt with issues other than the splitter. On one system I had to turn everything off and hook up the connections then power up the connected devices then the splitter; it was an ARC problem but, that seemed to cure the problem. Again, good luck.

It should be worked if the splitter does not have any problem. The one i got from this seller was not working.

If you want both devices to be able to use the HDMI port on the TV, you need an HDMI switch not a HDMI splitter. A splitter provides the same signal to two different receivers. A switch will take two different HDMI sources or transmitters and make either available from one or the other to a receiver (the TV in your case). Hence, this splitter will not work for you.

Unfortunately no simply because it's not a spliter. There is a tiny switch on it to change from the HD mode and standard. It's one or the other.

No. The splitter that you refer to will provide multiple HDMI signals for multiple TVs from a single source. What you need is an HDMI switch to select one of multiple inputs to a single output to your TV. I recommend a Kinivo 301BN 3 port high speed HDMI switch with IR remote. Search for it here on Amazon - it's currently $29.95. That will do exactly what you want.

I purchased for similar problem, did not work for me either, even with a splitter. If you find a way for this to work, I'd like to know

No. It is a passive splitter. It will only display the image on one tv if the other is off. If both are on you will not get a image on either. You need a powered (active) splitter to do what you want.

I can't answer the specific question as I am a novice regarding electronics in general, but I'm wondering if there is such a thing as a "splitter" for HDMI Cable as it would seem that this would solve your problem

This splitter can not do what you're attempting; this splitter is in the opposite direction. It will take one input and split it into two outputs. What you need is an HDMI switcher box (i.e. multiple inputs to one output). Hope this helps.

Yes that will work. I now have my signal split 4 ways near the cable box and then 2 ways later in the house and the do not see degradation in the signal. I have both the 2-port and 4-port version of this product. I can watch 4 TVs all with the same picture. There may be slight delay in showing the picture as the HDMI synchronizes but once complete it works flawlessly.

A splitter will not allow the device to have enough power. The device will work on one port but at reduced power. Davids' suggestion is your solution.

It should work between any two HDMI devices. Make sure that you have the cable the correct direction, though, as it's one direction only. (The arrows weren't all that clear to me, and I ran my cable the wrong direction at first.) Also, although it has a built in amp, I also used an amplified hdmi splitter--which you might, too, need depending on your situation. These cable can go bad--probably because of the built in amp. Lightning took out mine over the summer. Even with power surge protectors, surges will still follow your hdmi cables from unit to unit. I lost EVERYTHING connected via hdmi in one storm. Now I unplug hdmi connectors as soon as I hear thunder. It should work between any two HDMI devices. Make sure that you have the cable the correct direction, though, as it's one direction only.

you should be able to as the HDMI is always active from what ever device it is plugged into.
