How to connect Apple TV (3rd gen) to television

You need an HDMI switch, I would recommend Monoprice.com because they are cheap but built very well.http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=101&cp_id=10110&cs_id=1011002&p_id=8463&seq=1&format=2

I'm located in the UK. Can I just buy a HDMI splitter?

Maybe, you want an HDMI splitter that has 2 inputs and one output. Most are the opposite. You do not want to buy something with 2 outputs and one input. That will not work for you.

Edit: As jeremiah stated you want to look for a "HDMI Switch" rather than a "splitter" from what I have seen.

Thanks for sharing the information !

This is my TV, as you can see I don't have a HDMI slot free. Can I still connect it?

I was in the same boat three HDMI slots on the TV, four HDMI devices. I bought one of these are works fine.

Not according to the description.

A simple effective device to allow a single HDMi signal to be directed out through 2 sockets where the signal is required to be sent to two devices or screens.

· Does not combine signals, only splits them.

· NB. THIS SPLITTER WILL NOT WORK IN REVERSE, ie YOU CANNOT CONNECT 2 MACHINES SUCH AS A PLAYSTATION AND A PC TO A SINGLE SCREEN

Kanex ATV Pro for VGA + audio output

Looks like you have a VGA input on that TV -- similar to mine. As long as your TV supports 720p or 1080p, you can try the Kanex ATV Pro:

I just picked this up yesterday and had my ATV3 up and running within minutes. I love it.

In the dropdown you need to select the right type of adapter.
