Hi Guys,

Hop you can help. I have a pioneer pdp-436sxe plasma. I purchased this 3 years ago at a cost of £2000. I am now getting sky hd installed and I have a xbox 360 too. The problem is I only have 1x hdmi input so I need a splitter to sort my problem. My question is what type of splitter should i get and hdmi lead? Does the quality of the cable effect the picture and where could I get them from at a reasonable cost?

thanks

Gold plated HDMI cable for better quality, but you are going 2 use a splitter,
and by using a splitter the quality aint going 2 be as good as it would be just using the cable fron the box 2 your tv, but you will never tell mate you would need 2 be an expert on tv 2 realy see it. You can get it all off ebay mate.

You can also get a cable for the XB that will go from it's HDMI slot to component for your Screen - depends which is cheapest/best for you, really.
