Looking for a specific HDMI switch

[bruceb]

I am in need of a HDMI switch, preferably one that does not need the power pack.
What I want to do is Switch 1 HDMI Input (from catv box) between 2 TV sets
(only 1 would be on at a time) .. I see many HDMI switches that switch 2 Inputs
between a single outlet. Or do they make a Physical HDMI switch ? (turn a knob or
push a button to select the output desired) .. I tried an HDMI Y cable but it does not
do the job correctly.

why not just use a splitter?
is there a reason you only want to have 1 live at a time?

I tried a splitter and it did not work, I just found a J-TECH Digital JTD-BIDI-HDSW that uses no power and is Bi Directional so that should do the job.

I have this one and it works great:

Looks like the same one as the J-Tech Digital model I posted above.
