Hooking up my old video game consoles all at once....

[IanthePez]

I am hooking up my old atari, n64, and genesis, and the cables I have all use coax to the tv...as well as my cable of course, so that's 4 connections. When they are all wired together the picture quality gets pretty bad on everything so I'm looking for a switch that has 4-5 coax inputs. I know that I can get cables for the n64 and genesis with rca outputs, but I don't want to bother going that way. I searched quite a bit, and can't find anything decent with more that 3 ports...any ideas?

Since the signal isn't active until you turn each console on, why not have them all go to a coax splitter w/ one connection to your TV IanthePez? That should work right?

isn't there something called Pelican system selector (I think)?

it will. Unless you want to pay more.

There is, but he needs a coax solution

I hadn't thought about just getting a coax splitter...any reason why this wouldn't do just what I need?
