You don't want this item. It is a SPLITTER which takes one HDMI input (from your Roku in this case) and splits it into two identical HDMI outputs (which could be connected to two devices, like a TV and an audio receiver, or two TVs).
You need to connect your two HDMI devices to a SWITCH and connect the output of the switch to the TV's single HDMI input. With the switch, you can choose which of the two inputs to send to the TV.

I think there ARE some devices that are two-way and can operate as either a splitter or a switch, but this should be stated in the product description.
