    Hi. I just wondering that I got 2 component cables (PS2 and XBOX360) and I only got 1 HDTV. Is there any special box that can have 2 or more components in the box and 1 extra component to the HDTV so I press the button to switch the cable? Taking XBOX360 component out the back of your hdtv and change for PS2 component over which is pain in the arse to do it everytime.

    My old tv have 1 tv scart and I got this from Argos(UK store) which is an 3 scart to 1 scart box.

    EDIT: My dad found this one but it's too much money.

    There is a switch available on eBay for 20-30 pounds including shipping to the UK.

    The links would not appear correctly so I had to put them in quotes so you can copy and paste them into your browser (leave out the quotes).

    It is the Philips PH-61148 4-Way HD Component Audio/Video Switcher. I bought one about 3 months ago and it works great. It's a mechanical switch that does not amplify or boost the signal but the picture and sound seem the same to me with or without the switch.
