Anyone know of any switchers that have like 10 or 12 inputs instead of 4 or 5 like all the crappy ones? Any ideas would be great!

yeah, I have that one..and really it has 7, cause front imputs are the suck. I need at least 10.

Thanks though!

i have the same one....Pelican System Selector Pro....7 inputs on the back, 1 on the front

accepts composite, s-video, component, optical audio, and ethernet....

great switcher.....they released a version 2 of it with remote now as well....

Yeah I have the version one, and I love it. Perfect for component inputs

I use two that have 5 each, and it cost me far less than one with 7 or 8 would. Of course, they aren't the most amazing things ever or anything - but it does what it needs to do.

If you're that desperate to get them all on one input, you could simply plug a 5-port switch into a second one, which would give you 9 ports (since one on the first switch would take you to the next switch), or do the same thing with 3 switches for 13 ports.

I got those thick monster cables with gold tips and they work really good. IDK if you guys use them or not but does the selector take away from the quality at all?

If it does, I've never noticed. And I'm using the cheapest ones around. :P

I've seen a few online that have 10-20 inputs, and the prices were astronomical. I use a couple of 5 input switchers chained together.

Are there any with only coax inputs? I could care less about switching out AV cables really...
I want something that has 5 or more inputs, but Ive been having a shitty time finding one for a while now. :/

Does daisy-chaining the ones with just 3 distort the signals at all?

Yes, Radio Shack used to make/distribute one under the Realistic brand. 4 or 5 coax inputs and either one or two outputs. I use one for all my older systems. Works great. I found mine at a yard sale for 50 cents. I'm sure with some hunting, one of these could be easily found.

Yeah, that sounds promising. ( Ive found a couple 2 port ones at yard sales)

Good God, that 8 port thing is a huge beast!

I've been wanting to get a 10-20 port switcher myself. Just how much are these (astronomical, yes, I know, but really)? This RF daisy chaining bullshit can't go on much longer.

I don't know....I think I can get three more System Selector Pros before I have to move my Master System.... ;)
