Default What is the best option for having multiple S-Video lines input into one T.V.?

Right now I have my DVD player directly connected to my T.V. via the s-video but would also like to connect my satellite and VCR. I know that there are the little switch boxes that you can get. Is this the best way? And if so, what is a good switch box?

Default I've used an S-video switch box for about 2 years now.

While my Denon receiver handles the real work for switching, I have a Recoton 4-port S-video switch that I connect my N64, DreamCast, PlayStation2, and PowerBook to.
The switch box connects to the 2nd Video Aux input on the Denon.

Sony makes a decent model, too. The good thing is that they're unpowered and cost under $100.00

Default I use the Sima ..

Model SVS-4. It automagically switches to the newest input when it detects a new signal. And then it backs off to the previous signal when the new one goes away. Think of a stack of plates. Last in, First out.
