How do I switch back and forth between Roku and Verizon FIOS TV?

I just purchased a Roku 3500R Streaming Stick (HDMI). I set it up with no problem. What I can't figure out is how to switch easily between viewing the Roku and viewing regular TV. The only way I was able to get rid of the Roku screen was to unplug the Roku from the one HDMI connection on my TV, and replace it with the HDMI connection from my set-top box. If I got an HDMI splitter, would there be a way to switch back and forth without unplugging things?

FYI, my TV is a Sony Model KDL-32S2010. Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted!

Looks like your TV only has 1 HDMI port.

A splitter won't work. Would need to get an HDMI switch.

Or just get component cables (will need 4) to run from FIOS box to Component ports (3 video and 2 audio) on the back of your TV.

Then just use the TV menu to switch back and forth.

I had a similar problem and had good success with the BestBuy Rocketfish RF-G1185. It has a remote that allows you to switch between inputs, but you can program the switch with a Harmony remote if you use one.
