HDMI switch

My tv has 2 x HDMI and 1 x Component all used by existing kit I'm adding a PS3 into the loop and not sure of the bewildering choice.

I'll be sharing between the DVD/HDD recorder & the PS3 so changing it will be limited so no need for a remote and making it manual removes the need for another power supply so reducing my carbon footprint but are the manual mega cheap ones on fleabay any good and do the job?

I'm tempted to spend a bit more and get this on the basis I might one day add more HDMI devices but the only thing I can think of is a laptop with HDMI but I can just use the VGA connection.

Re: HDMI switch

the five to one switch box should do the job......

the only downside to it, is that you may lose a bit of the quality in the signal (but not sure so dont qoute me lol)
