You were not told the complete story. There are HDMI Splitters you can purchase through various online sources (Ebay, Amazon, NewEgg, etc.) that will allow you to have more than one HDMI device talk through a single HDMI port on your TV. There are also HDMI extension cables you can buy as well. Unfortunately, Best Buy does not sell splitters, otherwise I would have attached the link below. I would recommend you do the following: 1) Purchase an HDMI splitter with a long enough cable to put the "head" in an easy to access location. 2) Clean the area around the TV's HDMI port very good to remove all oils & dust. 3) Plug the HDMI Splitter cable to the TV's port, then secure it with GOOD tape so it won't wiggle loose. If the TV's HDMI connection still doesn't work, then you may have to give in and have a professional service/repair company replace the HDMI port on the TV (but it's usually cheaper to buy a new TV).
