Brad2600 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 A switchbox selecter? This might be the wrong forum for this but I was wondering because I have several systems and all of them use RF Adaptors. I know that they make boxes for A/V hookups but I wondered if they had a box that you plug all the RFs and the Cable into and then you can switch between different systems. This would be a big help for me as I like to play all the systems when I can. Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keir Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 I got one at Radio Shack and it works great. I can probably tell you the part number when I get home from work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariman Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 depending on what system it is, you can just hook up the RF switchboxes directly into one another. As long as they are the automatic kind, it works. As for the manual switch boxes, I know that they make (or at least used to make) the kind of switchbox you are looking for. I bought one from Best Buy a couple of years ago, but I'm not sure if they still carry anything like that. I would agree that Radio Shack would be your best bet for finding one like that.

Brad2600 Posted February 25, 2003 Author Share Posted February 25, 2003 It's more like one of those modern black boxes that you plug in the A/V cables for different systems/electronics and then you can switch between one system to another. I was wondering if they had the same thing for RF Adaptors where you connect several of them to the box and then switch between different systems. I dunno. I think it would be much easier to have something like this as it's a pain in the ass to disconnect and reconnect different adaptors.

Godzilla Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 any generic rca switchbox (a/v etc) will work for rf switching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search for "video selector". -Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted February 25, 2003 Author Share Posted February 25, 2003 Oh yeah that was what I was talking about! I need to get one from Radio Outhouse soon. Just exactly what I was thinking of. I'm not bidding on one cuz it seems silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Slocum Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 I'm pretty sure they're discontinued, and they're cheaper ebay anyway. I got my on clearance at Radio Shack for $15, but they originally listed at $70. -Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted February 25, 2003 Author Share Posted February 25, 2003 I'll keep an eye on them and if I see one with a BIN, I'll pick it up after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
