You might want to try the vgencmd thing Russell suggested, but other
than that...

Sorry, I was mixing things up with my own setup here. Basically why I
got an HDMI switch although my TV has plenty input is exaxtly the
behaviour I described: whatever I turn on makes the switch go to this
new source, when I turn it off it goes back to what was playing before.
TVs don't do that, (most) switches do and with some switches the
behaviour can even be configured. So I have four HDMI devices all
connected to the switch and one HDMI cable from the switch to the TV.
