I have cable box/DVR with HDMI and a DVD player with HDMI and a Sharp HDTV with one HDMI input.

It was an easy decision for me. The cable box got the HDMI. I watch far more TV than DVD, even though I'm a Netfix member.

At Best Buy you can buy a 2 to 1 hdmi switcher for about $125. I considered it, but I didn't do it. At least not yet. Parasound has a $600 4 to 1 switcher (if I remember correctly) which even gives a little boost to the signal strength. Parasound makes top notch equipment.

And I'm sure in the next 6 months, they'll be many more switchers. There surely is a market for them.

So, you may want to consider a hdmi switcher.
