First, let my list the devices that I have:
-PS2
-Xbox
-Upconverting DVD Player
-HD Set Top Box
My TV has 2 Component ports, 3 HDMI ports, 1 PC port, and 1 AV port. The Upconverting DVD Player has to be hooked up via HDMI in order to upconvert. I hooked up the Xbox via Component. I used to have the PS2 hooked up via the 2nd Component port, but since I got the HD Set Top Box, I used the other component port for the STB. I tried hooking it up via HDMI, but the picture was worse on SD channels because those set top boxes don't support HDMI. So, since the Component cables give me better picture and I rarely play the PS2 now, I used the 2nd component port for the STB. Now, I don't have any other port to hook up the PS2. For now, I'm using the AV port, but the picture looks real fuzzy. It was MUCH better when it was hooked up via the Component port.
Is there any other way I can hook up the PS2 or Xbox so I can free a Component port? I still have 2 HDMI ports and 1 VGA port free. I tried researching for HDMI or VGA adapters for these consoles but I couldn't find anything. I hate to have to spend an extra $50 on a switcher. Any ideas?
