Something to connect it all

4Xcut

Welll basically i have to connect the following things to a television: Playstation 2, Nintendo Wii and a laptop and Obviously television aerial.

No the thing is that its quite an old televison and therfore only hasone composite input and onescar input.

Now, my question is if there is any sort of box that i could connect the 2 consoles and the laptop(with any input, either VGA or s-video) toand then plug into the back of the television.

The reason i ask is that it is a 26" television and i don't reall want to spend 600/700 a HD TV just to get inputs and i'm not spending 550 or 600 on a non hd flatscreen.

Many thanks in advance, all replies welcome

You have a few options;

A multi-scart block would probably do the trick as the PS2 and Wii support scart, the laptop well it doesn't but you can buy a special converter that will turn VGA into scart but it's pricey. That setup would give you the best picture quality for all systems though it doesn't come cheap.

Next up would be a switch box like this one that could handle scart for the PS2 & Wii but it also has a s-video input so you could use the computer on that input.

On the more cheaper end of the scale a composite video switch will do but picture quality wont be great, it does have s-video for the computer (you can also get Wii/PS2 s-video cables for better picture quality but they are not so easy to acquire).

thanks for the help.

The last solution would be perfect if it didn't plug into the composite port on the telly as this leaves no wher for the television cable to be plugged in
