    You just need a HDMI switch with enough inputs to connect all your kit to one HDMI port on your TV. You just leave the TV selected to the one HDMI port. You select what to view by simply selecting the switch input you want to see on the TV.

    Attached the switch which has arrived. New Hummy is fine, just hunting for a spare flylead for the TV and HDMI cable now for the second one. Or default to Amamzon again!!! I can't get the Firestick working on it though - switch detects some thing plugged in but fails to load up. Maybe insufficient power? Firestick has its own powersupply though and is plugged in.

    I have a 4K firestick plugged in to similar switch without problem. Perhaps location has poor WiFi signal. Check with your phone with a WiFi test app.

    Try using a HDMI extention cable to locate the stick in a location with a higher WiFi signal level.

    Or just plug the Firestick back into the port on the TV that was working before.

    Haha, that would be too easy It works directly into an HDMI port on the TV no problem. But nicer to be able to use it on the HDMI switch remote instead

    Why? If it works then don't fix it.
