S-video switch recommendations?

[Fausto]

I have an older TV with a single RCA video input and I'm tired of swapping cables when using my HTPC/MP3 jukebox rig with it. Can anyone recommend a cheap, reliable s-video switch for me? They seem to vary in price from $20 to $120 and I have no idea what is junk and what is not. A new TV just isn't in the budget right now.

Thanks!

I got one from Radio Shack for around $25-$30 that works just fine for my purposes. I've only got one S-video input on my current TV and I have 4 different sources in our armoire that I'd prefer to use S-video input with (Satellite tuner, DVD player, HTPC, and S-VHS VCR.) That thing works like a charm for all of those. The only bummer is that you have to get up and walk across the room whenever you want to switch sources, but since it's on satellite 90% of the time it's not that big a deal.

There's an RShack on my way home, I'll check it out.
