The Now TV Box comes with an HDMI - HDMI cable. My Panasonic 50" Plasma TV has no spare HDMI ports left, but it does have a USB port going spare. If I can get an HDMI to USB cable would that do the job.?
It also has a spare Scart socket market AV1. Not sure if you can get an HDMI to Scart cable.

Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

Not got/used one personally however you can get HDMI splitter boxes, allowing you to plug multiple devices into a single HDMI input on telly.

Has it got 3 HDMI ports? One on the side near the USB ports? My 40" has. Good luck, if not.

Depending on the splitter (price) it will either automatically select newest input, and/or will have a remote or you push a button to select.

Ebay could be friend
