Component Video Cable Splitter?
I have an HDTV with only 2 component video inputs. Does anyone make a splitter box which would allow you to hook up more than one component video module? Thanks.

You probably wouldn't want to use y splitters and they weaken the signal strength too much. Your best bet is getting a cheapo system selector or a/v selector and using it for component. They cost $20 or less. These switchers are manual and aren't specifically designed for component (they just have yellow composite and red/white stereo), but you can use them for component just fine as long as you don't need audio as well. People will say they degrade the signal as well but I see no noticeable difference.

A composite a/v switch could work if all the inputs are built to the specs for video. The specs for audio are not high enough to handle video or one of the component signals.
