You would need an active HDMI distribution amp so if you got a passive splitter it won't work.
Also if your VR headset and TV have different video resolutions the output will default to the lower of the two. A video card with 2 HDMI outputs would allow you to set the resolution of each to get the best picture on both.
I think the reason the TV switches to DVI is that you don't have audio coming from the HDMI output of the PC.It may have an audio input that you can use when using a DVI to HDMI cable. Not an issue if you don't want the TV speakers working. If you do select HDMI as your audio device.
