Guy, it's disappointing that a receiver at that price point would have only two HDMI inputs, since 3 or even 4 are commonly available on moderately priced units these days. If you just got it I'd consider returning it for a more fully-featured receiver.

Yes, the external HDMI splitters, available from sources such as MonoPrice at low cost, work well, but again, you shouldn't have to do that these days with a new receiver.
