Purchase three rca "Y" cables and that should do the trick - if RS still sells them. Remember, RS is not for do-it-yourselfers any more! It's all disposable now.

Yes, it should do the trick in introducing shimmering, mirroring, and other objectional image artifacts.

Here's one for $75: http://www.hdtvsupply.com/hddiamp2sp.html

Assuming this is what you are looking for... http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2783643

I found mine locally as it is a stock item, at least in my neck of the woods. But will not work with a remote. To do that, I would think you would be looking for a matrix switch.

I have two of these switches in my whole house setup, they play well with the Harmony remotes and are in the database for easy programing. http://www.amazon.com/Component-Matr...977489&sr=8-31

Here is another one, a 2x6 for a few dollars less http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-4069...lp_edpp_ttl_in

Hope this helps.

this might work on baseband a/v signals....which are the red, yellow and white connectors....if youre lucky, the agc circuitry in your equipment will make up for the signal loss.....its a simple and cheap solution which wouldnt require any switching....if u get dark or smeared/degraded video and low audio levels u'll need that distribution amp....

i've never tried 'Y' cable splits with RGB/Y-Pb-Pr signals so i dont know what would happen there....

It's easier to just delete your posts. It would be even better if you simply confined your posts to when you knew what you were saying.
