HD Switchbox recommendations?

I bought a Phillips brand switchbox from Walmart that has Component Inputs but as I read in another post, it may not be suitable for 1080i signal. What is the cheapest alternative for a good enough switchbox? I would like 4 Component inputs at the very least.

Re: HD Switchbox recommendations?

A company called "Pelican" has a mechanical switch that claims to be HD compatible for game systems for about $49. I have one, but have never taken it out of the box so I cannot give any impression.

I've looked at the $69 unit from Radio Shack - but there are no bandwidth/frequency numbers so I cannot say if it is HD compatible.

If you find real numbers - you want a switch that has 90-120 Mhz bandwidth (or some words like "-3db point is 90 Mhz").

Hope this helps.
