Trying to get my head around a rather convoluted cabling solution.
We have just had laminate flooring put down in our house and as such am having to get creative with the wiring, to keep cables running along the skirting boards to a minimum.
Here's the current setup
The current HDMI cable is only long enough to reach from the TV to the bottom section of the cabinet which houses the virgin box.
However I have x2 HDMI switch boxes which I want to setup as follows...
What's hurting my head is how do I cable this setup?
Granted I should simplyfy by just getting longer cables and just one HDMI switch box but hey, I wanted to know if the compromise of jerry rigging using x2 HDMI switch boxes is doable?

Why 2 switch boexs in the same location? long hdmi cable should be going from the TV to the switch box to then connect to your pc/vm box. get a longer hdmi cable or extension

Yeah mate, it was just because I had x2 switch boxes, technically to act as an extender.
Just gonna bite the bullet and get longer cables 😎
