Radio Shack used to make a 6 port powered Toslink/S-video/Composite video/Stereo analog AV switch, but it's not on their website anymore. Oh well.

hmm.. what about this?

im really worried about EMI though.. i remember buying a cheap radio shack A/V selector and it would pick up everything.

nobody uses a A/V switches?

I use a Radio Shack 4 port A/V switch (with S-video-composite & vice-versa conversion) and it's really nice. I can't tell a difference between an S-video signal going through it to the TV or hoked up directly to the TV, and I use cheap cables too. Not to mention that it's nicely constructed.

Perfect for organizing any complex system of audio and video components, the System Selector PRO has inputs and outputs for just about anything on the market. There are a total of eight video and audio inputs -- seven channels accessible from the back of the selector and one in the front for quick hook up of a camcorder or some other device. The range of video inputs runs the gamut from the RCA-style line level inputs to S-Video to the very high quality Component inputs. For audio, there are the industry standard RCA-style line level inputs and, surprisingly, optical inputs on every channel (except for the front of the selector).

thats a pretty sweet setup... i suppose for $100 that isnt bad at all.

i guess it would even save me from having to run two ethernet cables aswell?
