Silver Member Username: GamerdudeOntario Canada Post Number: 153 Registered: Apr-06 | Well the inputs/outputs on this look sivler but i found a better one with gold plated and it seems to be a bite better made http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFS10 063502&catid=21313 http://www.joytech.net/products.php?section=viewprod&productID=79&lang=1&catID=9 here it is at there site looks pretty good,but i'm hoping i get a reciever for my birthday should i just wait for that? and use that for video switching? or would i be better to get this? |

Gold Member Username: SamijubalPost Number: 3039 Registered: Jul-04 | I doubt you're going to see any loss of picture quality. |
