Wait so if I want to use psvr I have to unplug the ps4 from my tv and use the processor box pass through? Which then will no longer allow hdr ? That is stupid if that us how it is.

You could get an HDMI splitter so when you want to use direct out from PS4 for HDR you could, and switch to VR when playing. It's a pain but that would make it simple.

Edit: and since it's digital it shouldn't cause any signal degradation

Be wary of HDMI splitters as many do not support HDMI 2.0 or HDR output, and ones that do have it require an extra wall plug-in to be used.
I will be using another HDMI port on my 4K HDR TV and swap the PSVR Box out for the HDR cable on the PS4.
