@luana does it at least have ARC so you can get some extra ones if you buy a soundbar

@noiob ARC?

Also do soundbars come with extra hdmis now?

I’ve been wanting to get an HDMI switcher, but there aren’t any nice ones… I’ve been looking into RS232 ones bc that would allow me to control them via HomeKit (as opposed to having to get up and press the button on the switch bc then I could just switch the cables myself anyway), but there are very few options that have it out there.

TV companies could literally make one that integrate with their TV system and win money when not adding enough ports, but nooo they just want to be annoying

@luana Audio Return Channel, it lets you connect a speaker system of any kind with a single hdmi cable, and yeah afaik soundbars just have multiple hdmi inputs these days

even the cheapest HDMI switches just switch to the active input, I haven't needed to manually switch mine much at all
