You can get scart multi blocks/connectors And you can get HDMI multi blocks/connectors Can`t seem to find if a component one is made/available? Just my new LCD only has 1 HDMI but want to see about my Wii on it as well, but can`t be R`sd to keep swapping 360/Wii/360/Wii etc Or even component to HDMI if it exists? Any ideas?
I got one of these Alan, it does the job just fine... http://www.joytech.net/1/products/xbox360/4/106/Control-Center-540C.htm
Typical I have seen those but as they were quite expensive never bothered and think I will pass and change the cables as still a lot... Just found this.....not a bad compromise http://www.mrmodchips.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=44&products_id=438&osCsid=bd9d55c01dc58783f2b4dc18c5ff4133
personally i wouldnt recommend that i had 2 units and both had problems, 1st one using the interconnect on the 360 caused interference, and the picture was grainy and ghosting on all inputs, and both of them had problems with the wii when displaying in anything but 480p if you do a google seach on it im sure the was a few topics on the a/v forums about it my recommendation would be this http://www.joytech.net/1/products/av/9/79/AV-Control-Center-245C.htm more inputs (7 component, 4 optical audio, network hub), better external design (imho) and also have better internals from what ive read, www.svp.co.uk have them for a reasonable price ive had one of these for 4 months now and works perfect on everything ive thrown at it (orig xbox, 360, wii, gamecube, ps2, dvd player etc) edit:: if your looking for cheaper, but still pretty good, have a ebay seach for "3 way component splitter" made by farmer, theyre usually around £15 and do the job quite well, i have a spare one if you want it for a few quid?
They sell a load of different ones here, including Philips branded ones. If you have trouble and want the multi input box type ones, I could sort you out with something. I think they run to about $30 though.
If anyone does know where to find an affordable one, i'd also be very gratefull since i'm dealing with the same problem as alan.
Why anyone would want a switch that looks like a console is something I will never get ? ehh but anyway I picked up a cheapo Pelikan at Toys-R-Us about 4 months back for $20.00 and it works with no signal loss which was a shock for the price. I figured if it sucked then who cares it was $20.00, Ive been pleasantly suprised bye its performance and cant see any difference between it and straight component, S-Video connections etc. It looks like a cheap piece of crap and maybe I got lucky but it may be worth a try since its cheap Model is the PL970 I will have to add my 2cents to Epinions when Im feeling a bit more expressive. http://www99.epinions.com/Pelican_HD_System_Selector_PL_970_PL970
