Can I place a hdmi splitter into 1 hdmi port?

Jump to solution

I’d like to add a hdmi splitter into one of the hdmi ports of my TCL Roku TV. I would like to add the number of devices as I have two devices I don’t have enough hdmi ports for. Would that be a problem?

Use a SWITCH on the HDMI input to the TV, not a SPLITTER.  (Some devices can be switched between switch and splitter functions, but some are just one or the other.)
