Pretty sure this has been asked before but anyway , What brand are you using? How much was it? Where did you get it? How does it sound? Any info you want to give I'm interested. Thanks.

    None?.... Well then I shall be the first, J/K. Any way I picked up a switcher at Wal-Mart for $19 to switch between BD and HD-DVD analogs. Any opinions on this switcher before I open it? here's a link.

    I used a regular A/V switch to switch between component video. Radio shack ones are highly recommended as they are the most basic switches out there and they are cheap to.

    I use an Extron Crosspoint to push HD/ component content throughout my house: 8 input 4 output matrix switch. Picked mine up off ebay for about $200.

    Sounds like overkill for you application, but they make 4 in 1 out model, too.
