I have a VHS player (gasp!), and 2 satellite receivers that I want to hook up to my TV. As far as I know, I can use the regular RCA type plug to connect the VCR to the TV, but I need some kind of video selector to switch back and forth between programming on one receiver and the other. I think it would be too much for me to hope for a switch that has a remote, but one that would be able to switch inputs by me pressing a button on it would be great too. Does anyone know anything of the sort? What brand would be best to avoid video quality loss? I'm not concerned about the audio bit because my receiver can handle a LOT of audio inputs. I'm looking at this switch from Radio Shack: http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...5Fid=15%2D1978

Any opinions?

Thx

This one's kind of expensive, but I got it and am very happy with it. Got it at Cameraworld for the best price I could find at the time (~$100). Sima says they're coming out with a new model that also switches digital so you might be able to get a good deal or maybe you'll want the digital switching model.

Automatic switching (if desired), volume stabilization (if desired), compander (if desired), composite->s-video conversion (if desired) and remote control.

That might be a little expensive for me. Got any other ideas?

I have a $30 GE switch from Target that I use for my vcr, Xbox, DVD and PS2. I'm very happy with it overall especially since it has s-video and the RCA video in/outs. I have noticed only a slight difference in the signal between straight wired and through the box with only the vcr.
