Question about HDMI splitters and diff. picture settings


I am hoping to receive a Denon AVR-1912 for Christmas. I have two different picture settings for Blu-ray/DVD/streaming (Manual - 0% overscan) and TV/cable (default "standard" mode), because of the white line on top of the image on analog-sourced TV.

To hook up both the Blu-ray and cable box to the receiver (with these separate settings intact), would an HDMI splitter work? I could just do it this way, correct?:

Blu-ray player > receiver (Input 1) > TV (HDMI2)
Cable box > HDMI splitter > a. TV (HDMI1) b. receiver (Input 3)

Correct?

just be careful about the splitter you use. there is a noticeable picture quality drop with a cheap splitter including color loss. thats all the help i can give sorry.

BS. and HDMI cable either works or does not work (meaning no picture or it's so distorted that it can't be watched), in the realm of digital CABLES there is no difference in quality between 2 working cables or splitters.

I can just about remember the time, when 'human suspect' was a given, not an option.
