From what it says about the switcher it's as simple as turning the selector knob, to change source.

My GTX card only has one HDMI port on it so I run that to one monitor and
have a VGA cable running to monitor 2. That leaves the HDMI on monitor 2

it. I think I can switch inputs from the monitor menu..

No indication of which it is. I checked the mammoth TV but can't see one on
that. It probably pre-dates them. One daughter has just dropped in and asked
how old it was and how much? I can't remember when I bought it but it was
over £2000. Hers is same size and they paid £500!

That got me thinking though and the cheap and smaller TV I bought for one of
the bedrooms has HDMI sockets. Plugged in the Fire and I'm now watching an
Ezyjet arrival at EGNS; or was. It looks much better on an 18" screen.

Next job to try to stop the Fire doing a timeout after a few idle minutes.

How long before the small TV finds its way into this room .........

Also check whether that HDMI pot is HDMI-in or HDMI-out.. If the
latter it won't work but you might get your laptop displaying on the
Kindle.. :(

I've just received a cable that allowes me to connect my Kindle Fire
to a normal HDMI socket. When I check around, the only device I have
to which I can connect the Fire is my laptop.

Having connected to the laptop, and looked at My Computer on it,
there's nothing to indicate that the Fire is connected. I want to be
able to look at the Fire's FlightRadar24 display, or BBC iPlayer on
the laptop monitor. Any advice on how to get there please?
