I have a Toshiba HDTV 34 inch tube TV and it only has TWO HD inputs. I have a progressive scan DVD, HD Comcast Cable, and an X-Box(with the high def kit),.... How can i hook up all three?? Is there a splitter/adapter or somthing i can buy?
thanks!!

you can also get a receiver that has 2 component in, and one out....that would free up one slot....

will quality be diminished at all going through an intermediate device like that instead of straight to the TV? (by the way....thanks for the advice!!! I've been wondering about this same thing!)

as long as the component video switching output has a bandwidth of 35mhz or more, you wont lose quality..
This receiver is an example (http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-GEFidoVDMNI/ProdView.asp?s=0&c=4&g=10420&I=580TXSR600&o=m&a=0)

if you check most receivers today, they will have around 30hz component switching...which is weird..
Im definitely gonna go higher..
wish the harmon kardons in the $4-$800 range had 35hz or higher switching

I have an AVR7000 and called HarmonKardon about this issue a year ago,and they said i WOULD loose picture quality going thru their unit.
See the following thread.
