Looking for a component video switch box.
My plan is to have 4 or 5 dvd players. but my receiver only has 2 component In's. Is there a external box, that I can just plug all my component dvd players into and then just hit the button to switch to that system? I know there are plenty of svideo/rca ones. but I want component. I have seen a few, but none I am really thrilled about.
the plan is to have 3-5 400disk sony players hooked up in my cabinate and then throw ALL my dvd's into them thus removing all my boxes from the house, saving space, and having a badass looking setup.
Only thing I havent figured out yet, is how to make the remote work with the right player yet.
Thanks
Greg

...I have been trying to find out if the cheaper ones will work with my hd box. I have a 400 disc player, and plan to buy another, my ps2, and my HD box hooked up through the madcatz one now but it looks really crappy. I get purple lines on the screen when playing ps2, watching a movie, or watching something in HD. I may try one of the low end ones after christmas to see if there is an improvement from what I have now.

I was hoping bestbuy would have something but nope. I found this one: http://www.smarthome.com/7772.html looks pretty nice. I might give it a shot.
