I need more component inputs.. what to do?? (1 Viewer)

[Justin Gates]

I have a Sony 51hw40 which has 2 component inputs like most HDTV's nowadays. My problem is I'm using one for my DVD player and the other for my Xbox. I just got digital cable today with HBO and Showtime broadcast in HD (which makes for an awesome picture!). So now I have 3 devices that require component input. I suppose I could get by with the Xbox using s-video but then I couldnt play games at 480p. I'd rather not have to unplug a set of cables everytime I want to use the xbox as this would cause wear on the cables and connectors.

The receiver I have is a Pioneer Elite vsx-35TX. It does have component switching but I'm unsure if the component connections on it have the bandwidth to support a HD or a progressive signal.

So, anyone else had the same problem and find a good solution??

I recommend upgrading your 35tx to a 49tx and you should be all set
Component video switching and it upconverts everything to component

the denon 4802 does component switching.

3 inputs and one output.
