[slinkelist] Cheap IR controllable A/V Switcher

[Greg Young]

RCA also makes one for $99 that can be gotten at Amazon.  I've been using it
for a couple of months.  Subjectively I haven't noticed any picture
degradation.  I recall reading a review that indicated there was about 3db
of signal loss.  It has 5 back panel and 1 front panel input.  There is no
composite to S video conversion.  It's IR controllable - but in reverse.
You teach it whatever signal you want to use for each input, such as the
power on signal for a particular device.   The only real problem we've had
is that every time we lose power (about once a month in Houston) you have to
re-program the switch.

I have no idea what the quality level is, but I thought I should let people
know about a cheap A/V switcher in the Crutchfield catalog. Looks like your
could control it from your Slink-e:

Sima SVS-4 A/V switcher
4 A/V Inputs (composite/S-video)
2 A/V Outputs (composite/S-video)
auto input selection
composite to S-video conversion
IR remote control
$149
