Questions about building your game rooms.

They make them in reverse. I don't think any of those at that site are like that, though. They'd have a switch to select between inputs if they were a RF selector and I don't see any switches. They just look like coaxial splitters to me.

Actually, those on that site are what you'd need... it can be used as a splitter or combiner. Most people use it to split their cable TV signal to multiple TVs, but you can also use it to combine multiple signals into a single TV. That's what I'm saying to do here. Hook your TV to the middle port and connect each system to the other ports. There's no need for a switch, unless you plan to also have TV signal on this TV.

Just think of that box an adder... it outputs the sum of everything that's coming in. When the Atari is on, it's Atari + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = Atari. When the Colecovision is on, it's 0 + Colecovision + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = Colecovision. If you turn them both on, you get Atari + Colecovision, which gives you an unusable signal... which is why I said to only turn one on at a time.

That's how I have my gameroom set up, and it works perfectly.

Edit: Actually upon closer look, I wouldn't go with those exact ones on that site. Those are resistive power splitters, which aren't as good (more loss and less isolation)... just trust me that they're not as good. This is what I'm using: http://www.buy.com/retail/product.as...lerid=11408470 .
