Trouble hooking up multiple HD systms.

[Mr Mort]

I just got an HDTV about 2 months ago, and I have my DVD Player, the cable box, my Xbox, and possibly my GC I want to hook up to my new TV, but It only has 2 component inputs.
I'm having a VERY hard time finding a switch box for component cables that also has standard RCA jacks for the audio.
Do you guys know of any, and if so, where?
Any help would be appreciated...

I have a Pelican system switcher. It's powered and switches ethernet, component, composite, and stereo. It makes for a very clean signal. It's not cheap either.

[Mr Mort]

Is it the system selector or the system selector pro? If so, I know it's near the $90-$100 range, and I'm trying not to spend that much. I only need about 2 or 3 inputs out of the switch...

I have found a JVC selector, but it's about $85 plus shipping...

It's the pro. I doubt you will get component switching for less. I grumbled about the price big time, but all in all, it was worth it.

Just use 2 stereo A/V switchers in tandem, one for stereo audio, one for the 3 component cables.

I just got some RCA 2F -> 1M Y splitters and ran my component cables through those, and then just never turn the systems on simultaneously. I even double-split one side so I could run the xbox/ps2/gc all through the same component input.

It ran about $10 all told, HD signals come through fine, and I don't see an appreciable difference in quality.

Now, the 4x3 Sony HD WEGA tv's do suck ass for high-def gaming, but that's a different thread entirely.
