I have a Samsung LCD TV that has HDMI output. My DVD player has HDMI and my Bell HDTV satellite has a DVI->HDMI cable.

The male end on the adaptor is plugged into the back of the TV. I then plugged both HDMI cables from my DVD player and satellite into the female ends of the adaptor. When I go into the "source" menu on the TV, it does not recognize anything. If I leave one of the cables connected, then I get a signal. What would be the problem?

I bought this adaptor piece hoping to connect it altogether. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
