The two port one is "Ouch!" £60 UKP on amazon.co.uk

4 port one is £90 UKP.

HDMI switching only is very cheap in comparison.

I am assuming that KVM is Keyboard Video Mouse - I think I may just need a 
USB switch.

So:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Printer-Switch-Selector-Adapter-Connnector/dp/
B00GWF3LNK/ref=cm_wl_huc_item

for a 4 port USB switch (comments say it is used for switching between 
PCs).

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0136NHLEA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?
_encoding=UTF8&colid=1UOETQ9CU282F&coliid=I1MLCR87MF66JV&psc=1

for a 5 port HDMI switch.

Total  £8.35 UKP + £13.99 UKP = £22.24 UKP.

That looks quite reasonable.
