I have a wall-mounted 4K TV with the HDMI outputs at the back, we managed to get an HDMI cable put through the wall and come out through a socket, but we can't access the others. Since we need multiple sources, is there a hub (don't know if terminology is correct) that can display 4k and have multiple outputs we can switch between, preferably a good brand so that it doesn't break :) Any help would be appreciated, preferably along with the price in GBP (although that i can check myself)

 

Thanks

Have a look around on Amazon. I found one that actively advertises having 4K support here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/CSL-bidirectional-Full-HD-Frequency-capable/dp/B00W6XRCKA/ref=sr_1_13?s=electronics-accessories&ie=UTF8&qid=1452975232&sr=1-13&keywords=hdmi+switch&tag=linustechtips-21 (£9.85) with solid 5 star reviews.

 

I personally wouldn't pay anything less than 5 quid for a decent splitter.

It's completely blown out of proportion. Also if you're the least bit worried about data gathering then you should go live in a cave a 1000Km from the nearest establishment simply because every device and every entity gathers information these days. In the current era privacy is just fallacy and nothing more.
