Xindayi 3 Port 1080P 3D 4k HDMI AUTO Switch Switcher Splitter Hub with Cable for HDTV DVD , 3 in 1 Out hdmi switch, $8.99 on Amazon

You can connect it to your good HDMI input on your TV, then switch between your HDMI inputs of your music gear and Apple TV. Plus, you'll have one left over.

There are plenty of USB to HDMI adapters, but no simple and cheap solution for converting HDMI to USB 3.0:

4K version: Cable Matters USB 3.0 to DisplayPort Adapter Supporting 4K Resolution, on Amazon
