[net.consumers] A better video switch

I bought one of those video game switches for my TV. The problem was
that the TV reception was worse and the game has these lines bouncing
back in forth, subtle, but bad enough to not use the switch, I was
better off switching by hand. Radio Shack sells a video switcher that
looks like this:     _____  _____
                     | A |  | B |
                  ------------------
                  |		   |
		  |		   |
		  |		   |
		  ------------------
		   | |   | |   | |
		   ---   ---   ---
		 A in    out   B in
		
So, I take the coax from my VCR and attach it to "A in", attach cable
from "out" to my TV, and then attach a "coax to RCA connector" from
"B in" to my game. It works perfectly with no bad results. All you
have to do now is push the A button or the B button. This Radio
Shack product works well.
