Using multiple items via component video

Our man in Havana · 2008-11-02 10:37:44

If this is in the wrong place please forgive me. Ok, I am connecting my Sky HD box to my TV via component, can't use HDMI as the TV won't accept HDCP. I want to get a BD player and that can only be used via component. Is there any easy way to manage 2 devices using only 1 component input? I welcome your comments and input.…

you can get a component switch alright.

you wont be getting the full wack of BD through component though. in the long run it might be better getting a TV that supports HDCP.

here is the switch
