I have an EDTV (somwhere in between standard definition and High definition). It has a single set of component inputs that double up as RGBHV inputs. These are RCA, there is no HDMI, no DVI and no scarts.
I currently have a Panasonic DMR-E85 connected via component (with the result being stunning DVD video quality), I may get an Xbox 360 to replace my current Xbox (so this will also need component input) and I am replacing my cable set top box for a V+ HD box that also uses component (seeing as my tv has no HDMI input).
Is there a kind of component switchbox that anyone recommends and should I get a passive or active switcher. Can switchers also be intelligent and auto-switch or perhaps a remotely controlled one or are they manually switched. Is there any degradation of picture quality, any recommendations as to one to purchase, don't want to spend too much.
