Can anyone recommend a good scart selector?

I want to be able to connect a third scart device to my telly without the hassle of switching the cables around all the time (and thus wearing out the scart socket). I got a cheap scart selector off eBay not so long ago, but if I connected more than one device to it, the picture would go all funny so it was obviously useless. I need one that can connect at least two scart devices to one socket without any problems, an automatic one would be preferred but I can settle for one with a manual switchover cable. I don't want anything expensive, just something that does the job decently for no more than a tenner or so.

Thanks in advance.

What is your current kit? You may not need a SCART switch.

This is the one I own and is fully RGB. It's a manual splitter but is only £9.99 and works (obviously) with all devices:

Give Bobcar the details to this question - you will almost certainly be able to use pass through of one device or more to negate the use of a switcher.

I've got a cheapo eBay scart splitter and it works fine as long as the 2 devices plugged into it are not both On at the same time. The 2 devices (PVRs) both operate with the same remote control, so when I turn one off the other comes on, and whichever is On is displayed on the TV screen. There's a bit of a flutter whilst one's switching off and the other's switching on, but otherwise I get a good picture.

Given my time again I would get a better quality splitter, though, because I don't think the colours come thru absolutely A1 on this one:
