Please log in for more thread options I just purchased a 4 input component system selector. It simply allows me to connect 4 component video cables. My LCD TV only has 1 input so it was necessary. But I noticed that when watching a DVD and cable (even sometimes with XBOX) I can see 'interference' lines scroll up the screen. Obviously on primarily dark scenes/games. Does anyone know if this can be eliminated? What about high end selectors? Do they exist? Does anyone make one that has little to no interference? A friend warned me about this. It's rather annoying as it does slightly discolor the image too while it scrolls up. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks!!!! | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options I use a splitter from Radio Shack/ The Source and it doesn't seem to affect the signal quality, at least not to a level I can see. If you'rs is from somewhere else, you could maybe try one of theirs, otherwise, a new receiver with component switching might be in order.

I had the same problem with this insignia TV I bought (ok rag all you want on thr brand name, but for 400 bucks, it was a DAMN good buy, haha, I could only fit upto a 27" TV in teh space ) I bought a Pelican system selector pro off ebay (I want to say it was like 50 bucks or so, don't remember off hand) it switches between 8 devices, an also has 3 eithernet in's and 1 eithernet out (for hooking up your gam consoles to this box for on-line play, VERY handy instead of running seperate cables or using a hub to connect your Xbox and Ps2 for on-line play) I've noticed no signal loss or interferance using this setup. it also has a front port that allows you to hook up an external source vidoe S-video, component or composite. only draw back is I wish it had a remote, I believe they do make one now that has a remote to switch between inputs, but it's not that big of a deal, I have 2 inputs on my TV, 1 is the cable box, the 2nd is the system selector which has my xbox, ps2 and DVD player on it, so I have to get up regardless to put on my ps2 or insert a DVD. | |||||||||||||
