Newbie question.

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

My TV only has two HDMI ports, one of which is hooked up to my DVD player, the other to my cable box. I would like to get a Google Chromecast, which would require another HDMI port. I have a set of three-color cables that I can use for my DVD player (and have in the past), but I’d rather have everything running on HDMI. Do I have another option?
