Possibly powered splitter model 180-597 from Parts Express will do what you need. Monoprice offers powered models 8154 and 7522. Tripp-Lite, long known for its high-quality products, has model B118-302-R (see link) sold via Amazon and elsewhere.I have never used an HDMI splitter so I cannot be certain they will allow only one TV to be utilized at a time. Check with the seller or, in the case of Tripp-Lite, the company itself.
Alternatively, you can try using an HDMI cable to one TV and component cables to a second TV. The info in my DirecTV HD boxes says that all resolutions, including 1080i and 1080p, are passed through its component video output. (Go into the Settings & Help menu and select Display, then TV Resolutions; then move right to More Info and read the text.)
Please let us know if you get it working. It could be helpful to others here.
EDIT: A Q&A at the Tripp-Lite link indicates their splitter allows the user to power up and view one TV only or two TVs simultaneously.
EDIT 2: Monoprice tech Imad Alsibai informed me that splitter model 8154 will work properly if one TV is on and one is off or when both are on at the same time.
