    I'm looking for one with at least 4 scart sockets, all of which need to be RGB compatible. One with an s-video socket would be nice and would free up a socket and I wouldn't need to buy an s-video scart adapter.

    A lot of switchers seem to be manual, so you need press down a button at the side for the scart cable you want to use. An automatic one which doesn't require any messing about with buttons or switches would be preferable.

    Here's one that I was saw on ebay and am thinking about getting:

    Any one you lads recommend?

    I find the manual ones much better than the auto switching ones. You get some signal interference on any of the auto ones I've purchased(and I've purchased some pricey ones that were a waste of money)

    I picked up an older (much cheaper)style manual scart switch on amazon a while back and its really great. Only 3 scarts(3 in 1 out) on it though but they are all RGB.

    Edit:
    Also, grab a Duronic scart cable while they are so cheap on amazon to connect the scart box to your TV.

    I got two of these for my setup. Madcatz Scart Switchers. 4 Slots, RGB on all four & manual switching (auto is worse for picture quality). They don't make them anymore, but I got mine on ebay.it for peanuts, & they work perfectly :cool:
