this might be a stupid question (home electronics)

[grasswire]

Okay, so if you have a television and a cable connection for it and then you add a VCR and then you add a Playstation and then you add a DVD player, how do you wire it all together? Is there a gizmo that accepts all the cables? It isn't mine, it's my nephew's. And four different remotes!! He's switching cables back and forth all the time and it's a royal pain in the neck to just sit down and turn on the TV if someone has been using the Playstation, etc.

What's the solution?

2. It depends on the TV.

If I was there, I'd have a solution for you in approximately two minutes.

They aren't too expensive. I have a GE with three inputs (still not enough inputs though);)

I think I paid about $15 for mine at a Video Game store.

5. Go to Best Buy

You can buy a device that you plug everything in to and hit a switch to change between devices.

6. Best Solution:

Unplug ALL of it. Cancel the contracts, and get out and be around real people. Interact. Create meaningfull relationships.

Much more wholesome that way. Live a real life instead of one swallowed by mass media.

And I say that with absolute love. Sometimes we forget that there is a real world outside the boxes in our house.
