Possibly powered splitter model 180-597 from Parts Express will do what you need. Monoprice offers powered models 8154 and 7522. Tripp-Lite, long known for its high-quality products, has model B118-302-R (see link) sold via Amazon and elsewhere.I have never used an HDMI splitter so I cannot be certain they will allow only one TV to be utilized at a time. Check with the seller or, in the case of Tripp-Lite, the company itself.
Alternatively, you can try using an HDMI cable to one TV and component cables to a second TV. The info in my DirecTV HD boxes says that all resolutions, including 1080i and 1080p, are passed through its component video output. (Go into the Settings & Help menu and select Display, then TV Resolutions; then move right to More Info and read the text.)
Please let us know if you get it working. It could be helpful to others here.
EDIT: A Q&A at the Tripp-Lite link indicates their splitter allows the user to power up and view one TV only or two TVs simultaneously.
EDIT 2: A Monoprice tech informed me that splitter model 8154 will work properly if one TV is on and one is off or when both are on at the same time. I did not inquire about model 7522.
