Monoprice 5x1

The Monoprice 5x1 is a 5 input/1 output HDMI switch support HDMI with HDCP. It can be found for around $50, which gives you an inexpensive solution to the problem of running out of HDMI input. It supports HDMI with HDCP, however it doesn't not support the HDMI 1.3 standard for deep color support. See the OPPO HM-31 (3x1, $100) for HDMI 1.3 support.
