These switches really need an order of port preference. That is, when two sources are on, it prefers a particular published port. When that port turns off, it switches to the non-preferred port, and so on down the line. It would make them much better with TIVO and other DVR's that have a continuous output stream. It would also be nice if they'd throw in a couple of component inputs so that one switch could handle your Tivo, xbox (component) and dvd player.

I mean isn't that really the point of these switches, to do it for you so that you don't ahve to use 4 remotes and 20 buttons to get the inputs right?

ps

I don't want to switch my sound either. Where's the automatic switch for that?

The ideal switch matrix would convert anything to digital (hdmi for video and pcm 2.1 or 5.1 for sound) and output that to ONE input on the TV and ONE input on the receiver.

Why do I have to use a bunch of different switches for goodness sake?
