I have a Toshiba 32WLT66 which I am very happy with. The problem is that I have more devices I want to connect to it than I have inputs.
To this TV I need to connect:
1) DVD Player (non-HD)
2) Sky+ box
3) PS2
4) Nintendo Wii
5) Xbox 360
The TV has 2 HDMI inputs, 2 SCART, 1 component and 1 side AV input (really designed for cams)
The problem is that neither the Nintendo Wii or 360 have HDMI cables available for them, only component / AV / scart, and I don't have enough component sockets on the TV to cope with this.
Right now I have the DVD connect to the Sky+ box via scart. The Sky+ to the TV Scart 1. The PS2 into the 2nd Scart socket. The 360 and Wii uses the component sockets on the TV and I have to get around the back to swap them over between each console when I want to play.
This is a less than ideal set-up to say the least.
Do devices exist that allow me to connect everything I have to that one box, and then that one box can go into the TV? (ideally to an HDMI input). If this box can then also control sound output to one set of speakers then so much the better.
I'm really not a home cinema buff (as you can tell!), I'm a gamer who's wife enjoys a bit of TV So what do I need to buy in order to stop this cable swapping nightmare?
Many thanks.
