Client put all components in the TV cabinet EXCEPT the a/v receiver so would like an A/V switcher that is IR controllable. (All this done when home was remodeled 6 years ago and walls open - running 4 sets of A/V cables to the closet where all the speaker wires reside is not practical at this time). I think his budget is probably under $200 retail plus some install time. Are there any that you have used that have been reliable?

He's currently using a Sony 35" direct view with only composite and S, so component video is not a requirement, but may come in handy much later on... Just switching cable box, DVD, VCR, camcorder, and maybe a game box.

Has to respond to discrete input requests!

Tom, I've got a Sima Switcher that handles Composite and S-video and upconverts to S-video. Retail was $200.00. Ordered it for a client who decided to upgrade his system instead. I'll give you a good deal on it.
