Considering Comcast HDTV and inputs (1 Viewer)

[Andrew Grall]

Hey folks,

With more and more football games being broadcast in HDTV (or at least EDTV), I am thinking of finally taking the plunge to digital cable. That, and the fact the fact that Comcast is currently running a special where digital cable is only $5.95 for the first 3 months...

Anyway... I realize that the HDTV box will need to be connected via component cables, and my component inputs on my Toshiba 50H81 are already in use by my DVD player and X-Box. What is an inexpensive, yet quality way to connect more inputs? Is there a y-splitter or do I have to purchase a switch box?

Thanks.

I don't know about quality, but many people use a standard cheapie composite switcher.
