    Hi all,

    I have a oldish HD speaker system, 6.1 sound, decent set up cost be a few bob at the time, anyway I upgraded last year as it would not switch HDMI, however i have it in the back room. I'd like to get an auto switcher for 2 or three HDMIs with SPFIF out so that i can have one hdmi going to the TV and 2 or three inputs going into it but with a SPDIF output so that I can use the optical input on the amp, I am using something similar on the Xbox, as in I have the digital optical sound inked from the xbox to the amp but the component video going to the TV, the TV can handle HDMI, my medi PC only has HDMI out and I use the PS3 there sometimes too, so it would be handy to have all my sound on the amp and not the mix of stereo/optical and TV situation that i have now.

    I dont want to spend too much money on this, for example something for about 40 or 50 euro, otherwise I'll leave it and look at a different amp next year. I have seen them on ebay but only a few have the SPDIF out and they are all in the USA with big postage.

    something like this would do the job but its too expensive/not cost effective

    a simple auto unit wold do me.

    here is another one, but i don't want to bring one in from the states if possible.

    I'm not sure that these have the full SPDIF output either, i dont want to just end up with stereo again
    anyone any suggestions?

    thank you
