It's possible it's not getting enough power, are you also using a power block that you can get with the firestick?

I think it detects when it's not connected to a device and puts itself into standby. If I switch to an app on my TV when watching the fire HD it basically stops whatever I was doing so I have to restart the TV programme or film.
It could just be the splitter isn't providing enough of what it needs to detect connectivity.

HDMI is notoriously annoying for shit like this, things not being recognised as different HDMI versions are passed along or insufficient power and the like.
Neet do decent HDMI switches. Go for a powered one as drawing power from HDMI can sometimes cause issues.
For power I have something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Charger-Adapter-Charging-Station-AiPower/dp/B076LFTXCN/ (although the 10 port version)

Just picked up a 4k Firestick. I have a 3-way HDMI splitter (this one I think) which works fine with a freeview box, Chromecast and laptop, but the Firestick won't show. It works when I plug it in directly.
Has anyone had anything similar? Know why it doesn't work? Or has a link to a 4-way that would work?
Cheers.
