Spec me a HDMI switch 5x1 with remote.

I would like it to be able to handle 4k for future as only have 1080p at the moment.
Seen quite a few for under £20 which I would be happy to pay, just wondered if any of you can recommend one in particular.
I would like it yo be heavy enough so the hdmi cables dont lift it off the shelf as my current 3x1 switch does.

Octava. Not cheap.

Thanks for the link but it's considerably more than I am willing to pay.

Could see if anyone is selling an AV/R near you?

For instance, I have a Sony STR-DN1040 doing nothing that I would happily sell, but they are so heavy that courier postage fee's would be a bit of a killer.

Depending on your requirements if you just want '4K' there are a number of cheap switches on Amazon. If you want full 4K@60hz, HDR and HDCP then you're looking at £150+

I've spent a lot of time looking at these are I only have 3 HDCP HDMI ports on my 4K AVR that are currently taken up with my: PS4 Pro, Sky Box and Shield TV. If I want to add a UHD player I'm going to need a switch. It seems the PS4 Pro is very picky with switches if you want 4K and HDR.

In fact, having checked previously, even the domestic Octava switches don't appear to support 4K@60hz.
